As a result of the Swann vs. Charlotte- Mecklenburg Board of Education court case in 1971, the,Supreme Court ordered the school system to desegregate by busing students. the initial disapproval and a few minor incidents, the plan began to work and the rest the country followed in the footsteps of Char lotte-Mecklenburg. The odds were even greater against West Charlotte's being able to bring students nine junior high schools across Charlotte to former all-black high school and create a student body. Because of the determination of the board education, school personnel, parents, and dents, West Charlotte not only made work, but now sets the pace for 1 Meckenburg in several other areas. By offering the broadest range of curriculum in the school system, West Charlotte allowed the students numerous options in choosing their stu- dies.

When the AIP started at West Charlotte in 1975, it was the first program of its kind in the school system. Now other schools have adopted the program. West Charlotte is the only high school in the system to have an Open Program. This program allows students to pace themselves and work in a less stmctered environment. The English as a Second Language Program KESLJ, which also received the Governor's Award of Excellence, teaches newcomers to the United States how to speak English and teaches them about American history and culture. The nine junior highs in the feeder system ed with the Open and ESL programs West Charlotte to have students from virtually every economic, cultural and ethnic background. Building a strong family relationship was possible because students respected each others differences and learned from them as well. The strong bonds that were created made for a closer-knit student body and thus provided for an atmosphere of excellence. The unity and excellence that West Charlotte projected set the pace tor otherschools to try to match. ' A ll . A? Pacesetters 5 When it rains . . .

Carterl eading the pack. Set- ting the trends! West Charlotte set the pace for Charlotte-Mecklenburg to follow. Coming together from different backgrounds all across Charlotte, students proved that West Char- lotte could excel in academics and sports, but beyond that, they could have a student life. Enthusiasm flourished during spirit week and homecoming, and pep ral- lies provided a chance for students to show pride in their school. Even after traveling to and from school every day, those covering 27 miles and those walking only blocks attended athletic events. Football games were a part of Friday nights, and soccer and basketball games allowed students to show their support throughout the week. Painting the rock was a way for individuals to ex- press themselves all through the year. Other students achieved recog- nition by spending hours during and after school, working on West Char- lotte's award-winning newspaper, yearbook and drama productions. Socializing was a high- light in the lives of the stu- dents, and there was al- ways a chance to spend time with old friends or to meet new ones. Lunch- time meant a break from daily routines, and school functions such as dances provided an atmosphere in which stu- dents could be themselves and have a good time. Students also mingled, grew together, and en- joyed weekend parties. Student Life 7 A night on the town. Seniors Anne Kirby, Craig Johnson.

As students anxiously waited for summer to begin, for the alarm clock to retire and for the fun to start, plans were made for those precious 12.35 weeks, 86 days, 2064 hours. Summer promised to bring work, travel, rest and relaxation. A handful of students, repre- senting West Charlotte, jetset- ted through Europe with Dr. John Kiser. Anita Untz, Char- lie Blankenship, Craig John- son, Anne Kirby and Julie Peterson were invited to join Laird Lewis' Young Americans Abroad Program. The purpose of Lewis' pro- gram was to expose students to European history because as Anatole France stated, 'tl know history best if I see it and if I can talk to the stones of the past. The North American Cultural Exchange Legion CNACELJ ex- posed the French way of life to students: Kristen Johnson, Sarah Stroud, Danna Pentes, Valerie Pettway and Lenny Vermillion. While some students were representing America and West Charlotte abroad, other stu- dents stayed in Charlotte pre- Dining Medieval style.

For the majority of students, however, summer meant get- ting up at 9:30-10 a.m., going to the pool, tennis courts or park. Occasionally, some went to the lake, beach or mountains. No matter what students did, the Summer of '83 definite- ly was a time well deserved, well spent and well neededf, said sophomore Jackie Robinson. Summer in London. English teacher.

Fronebergerl Summer 9 New beginnings ff to a fresh start ays of sleeping late, lying by the pool and watching soaps ended. Alarm clocks, notebooks and backpacks be- came the order of the day. The time to come back to school had arrived. Braving 900 plus tempera- tures, juniors and seniors re- turned to old friends and famil- iar surroundings, except for a few relocated classes. Sopho- mores found the first week ex- citing confusing and a little scary. HI got lost four times in the first week. I couldn't even find the gym. I saw it on the map, but then I turned the map upside down and went the wrong way, said sophomore Cindy Dellinger. But it's getting bet- ter, she admitted. Sophomore Craig Davis thought West Charlotte was a little big. It's really spread out and my classes are far apart. I was late to homeroom four times in the first week. Davis found lunch difficult too. Last year I had lunch at 1 a.m. Now I'm eating at 10:30 a.m. It might as well be breakfast. Lettergirls, cheerleaders and athletes started back early with summer practices. The Sunday before school officially started, sophomores got a chance to view the school at an open house, and the senior wom- en'l told who they thought was number one by painting it on the school rock in red, green and blue. Victories for the soccer team in the Myers Park Invitational Soccer Tournament and foot- ball team over Pulaski capped off the week. By the end of the week, lock- ers had been given, schedules adjusted and homework assigned. Students had already experienced much at West Charlotte. But it was only the beginning . . . On the right track. Students again face the challenge of traveling across campus at a fast pace in order to get to class in only five minutes, iPhoto by J.

The moment had arrived, contestant number six, senior Vicky Culbertson was announced. Tears filled her eyes as assistant principal Jim Watts placed the crown on her head. I was really shocked be- cause I wasn't going to go out at first, but once things got started I really enjoyed being in it, said Culbertson. At last, sweaty palms and quivering lips were over for the five finalist: seniors Joan Brooks, Culbertson, Patrice Dixon, Dawn Ramsey and Lin- da Shropshire. The girls stood, holding hands as the second and first runners-up were announced, Ramsey and Smiles shine Performing on Broadway Shropshire, respectively. All of the contestants were re- quired to raise money to partici- pate in the pageant. The money went towards the prom, spon- sored bythe Junior Class Coun- cil. The contestant with the most money received the spirit award trophy. Senior Tracy Hafey won the trophy. Rocking Ray of WBT acted as Master of Ceremonies. The judging was based on casual wear, interview, formal wear and the impromptu question. The girls were directed and advised by Latin teacher, Ann Vest and history teacher, Carol Poole. The contestants were given a break between each phase of the pageant. To open the show the Mixed Ensemble sang New York, New York. Fol- lowing the casual wear and the I interview, senior Elizabeth Torchia and junior Mariana Schwartz performed Canzo- na for Viola and Piano. The musical entertainment was continued when Marvin Davenport's band played a se- lection while the judges picked the finalist.

Turning back the hands of time. students reincarnated Wild, Wild West on Wednes- day. They dressed to the likes of Billy the Kid and Calamity Jane as they corralled the wild Mus- tangs. Showdowns in the Quad and boot-stompin' in the halls gave the campus a West- ern atmosphere. Black veils covering grim faces hid the Lion's true feelings ofjoy behind their 'imourningu of the Mustangs. Thursday was Mustang Mourning Day and students came dressed in funer- al attire. 'ilt was really funny to see everyone act sad when they were really excited about the death of the Mustangs! said se- nior Tracy Hafey. After building school spirit all week, students revealed their true identity on Friday: proud, mighty Lions. Paw prints and whiskers were painted on faces, while buttons, lion's tails, and maroon Sc gold adorned bodies. Cold, steady rain was unsuc- cessful in dampening the stu- dents spirits. Refusing to be vic- tims ofthe weather, clubs set up their festive carnival booths in the gym. l liked having the car- nival in the gym a lot betterg it seemed to bring everybody closer together, said junior Regina Hairston.

Project Excel and Governor's School gave qualified students a chance to experience and par- ticipate in an accelerated learn- ing environment. Governors School was a six- week statewide program for juniors and seniors on the Salem and St. Andrews cam- puses. Senior Peter Mork and junior Mariana Schwartz attended Salem College for orchestra and junior Beth Brown for art. Senior Jason Reed attended St. Andrews for choral music, junior Mike Schill for French and junior Katie Leiva for English. Project Excel took place for a shorter period of time, lasting three weeks at the UNCC and Queens College campuses. Juniors Anna Townes and Ingrid Kincaid studied drama at Queensg senior Amy Setzer studied art at Queens.

One activi- ty was repelling down a six story building. The worst part was making yourself go. Once you started it was easy, said senior Amy Setzer. These summer programs helped prepare the students for college life. I did more than just learn new information. I discov- ered a whole new way to learn, Mork said. Aloha!

Seniors dressed in togas and juniors in PJ's shouted, Sophomores sit. Rowdy, un- intimidated sophomores ignored the warning by stand- ing up and yelling back. Homecoming day started with a carnival and ended with a grand-slam pep rally. The varsi- ty cheerleaders started the rally with the chant, 'lions get up. The lettergirls backed the cheer- leaders with a Smash Egg contest to see which class had the most school spirit isopho- mores wonl. The band's performance kept the stands jumping. Wear- ing maroon and gold, cat tails and cat faces, students moved to the sounds of Beat It. After the introduction of the football players, the senior girls brought dead daisies and placed them on the effigy of the Myers Park mascot. The only silence at any pep rally came when students paused for a mo- ment to mourn the death of the Mustang. Pep rallies 21 Day by day lt's the only way ix o'clock. The alarm clock goes off. Morning has come too early, but faithful Joe Stu- dent drags himself out of bed anyway. After a fast trip down the Brookshire Freeway, Joe slides into a parking space. Joe chats with friends about what hap- pened at the soccer game the night before while walking to his locker. Backpacks are filled with books, notebooks and home- work needed for morning classes. Joe slips in the door of first period as the tardy bell sounds. ln class, he is subjected to tests, quizzes and lectures. Of course, as he files out with his classmates, homework assign- ments are shouted out. During class change, Joe hurries to math class while exchanging brief messages with friends, The history test is impossible. What? You haven't even stu- died? You're going to fail!, still wondering how assistant prin- cipal Jim Watts really expects him to get from the trailers to the 600 building in five minutes. Finally, lunch arrives with a break from his busy schedule. While others head to the mall, cafeteria and McDonalds, Joe finds time to gossip about what 101 Bearing A Heavy Load.

At last, after Joe has spent much time staring at the clock on the wall, sixth period is interrupted by the afternoon announce- ments, As Joe rushes to the parking lot and becomes part of the after-school traffic jam, he realizes he has made it through another day.

Junior James Daughtry spends Friday night at West Char- lotte's homecoming dance. C C here's the party this weekend? While walking to cars and buses Friday at 2:15, students formed plans and made dates as books got thrown in a corner until Sunday night. Couples paired off to see movies such as i'The Return of the Jedi, while the more con- servative movie-goers trekked to the midnight movies for the great classics like 'iThe Rocky Horror Picture Show and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Through tradition and as a re- sult of a winning season, the football games often became the starting point of the weekends. The direction stu- dents followed after the game was never consistent. Discos, parties, restaurants, and sleep were among popular destinies for the Lions. When the old routine of Charlotte activities became too boring, students sought action in other areas.

This was only one of several mishaps caused by West Charlotte's early morning and afternoon rush hours. Students rolled into the park- ing lots every morning, whether they liked it or not. First were the early birdsw who drove the neat luxury cars and hunted for the most convenient and safest places they could find.

After the 2:15 bell, students swamped the parking lots, but this time their feelings were of relief, not of rush!

The months of autumn rolled by as life at West Charlotte got underway. Along with the Carrousel Pageant and homecoming, ser- vice clubs' parading their new inductees around campus were an indication of fall's arrival. The cold morning chills and the lowering temperatures at Friday night football games re- minded everyone that time was progressing quickly. Halloween gave everyone a chance to return to their child- hood once more, and Thanks- giving served once again as a great excuse for over- indulgence in all the favorite foods. Of course, there were re- sponsibilities to be taken care of, as well. Registration deadlines for PSATls, SAT's, and Achievement tests had to be met, and college applications had to be carefully prepared and sent off. First quarter quick- ly came to a close and second quarter soon began. There was little time to be wasted, as students carried on, in preparation for winter. Planning for the future.

While some students filled their hours after school with soap operas, stereo music and tedious home- work assignments, another group of students went to work. Students had jobs ranging from fast-food server to fashion adviser and babysitter to bus per- son. A major incentive in getting a job was the money, although some considered the experience beneficial. I drove a school bus for the money and the experience. I may end up dnving a truck for a big company someday, said senior Jerry Pew. Of course, there are always sacrifices to be made when one is employed as Crown employee, senior Steve Motsinger learned.

Students like senior Michelle Mundt, who worked at McDo- nald's, found that the hours they worked made it more difficult to keep up school grades. Some- times it was impossible to go to sleep on time after working four or five hours, because I'd have so much homework left to do, said Mundt. Having a job also proved to be an enjoyable experience, after all. Senior Karen Hall, a fashion adviser at a clothing store, said, I like my job because I love work- ing with clothes and with people and thatls exactly what I do.

This was only the second lucky break for the students. January 13 the students were released at 10:30 because of freezing rain. The students, however, were sometimes disappointed to wake up and find the predicted snow or freezing rain had not shown and the ground was bare. Temperatures this winter were not stable. During December and January, the temperatures would range from the high 30's to the mid 6O's. Because of the unstable weather. colds and flu occurred.

I find that lunch gives me that added time to fin- ish,'l said junior Paige Whitlow. A few of the rather crafty ones tried to sneak off campus to get a Bojangle's biscuit or a Burger King hamburger. Some had a peaceful lunch without assistant principals John Davis and Jim Watts finding them. But others weren't so lucky! Many students found that lunch was a well deserved break from a hectic day of homework, pop quizzes and lectures. If I didn't have thirty minutes to socialize and just have a break, I'd go crazy, said junior Joan Wuebbens.

GQ - iabbr. for Generally Cooli This ciresser has just stepped out of the magazine for a quick tour of the campus. He can be easily identified by his bow ties, pointed-toed shoes, baggy pants and the suave, debonair atmosphere which his presence holds. The earthies or woodsies pre- ferred the rustic look. They wore old jeans, flannel shirts, leather shoes or hiking boots and vests. These students felt a strong urge to live in an eternal state of mellowness and not dis- turb the great chain of being, or anything else for that matter. The traditional or prep look had loosened its standards on labels and guidelines, yet it still insisted that members practice certain points in its sacred code of honor: li Preps are above any one or anything socially and economically, and they are al- ways right. 23 If someone else believes they might be wrong by just the slightest chance, refer to number 1.

Troops were sent to Lebanon, Central America, and Grenada. Students responded in various ways when asked Their opin- ion of American involvement. Question: Do you agree with the American involvement in foreign affairs? Why? Why not? I do not agree with the American involvement in Central America because I feel we should deal with our own probIems. Sophomore Robin Johnson ul don't agree with the American involvement in Beirut. lt's none of our business' to be in their affairs, but I'd join the army if necessary. Junior Joe Martin I agree with the involvement of our American soldiers in Beirut. I believe that we fAmericansJ stand for peace, and that we should defend the freedom of all people, no matter who they are. I would serve if they ask me. Senior Andy Leonard I am going to the marines in August so I wish that the U.S. would tend to our own affairs because I don't wish to kill a human over something I know nothing about. Senior Chris Poe No, I do not agree because I think Americans should take care of their problems at home before taking an interest in foreign affairs. Senior Caroline Houpe I really don't know why we are in Grenada or Central America, but obviously Regan has a good reason for risking American's lives. If I was forced to go and help fight, I would. Senior Brian Murphy I agree with the American involvement in Beirut because it's impor- tant that we keep a free govemment by not letting guerillas take over. Senior Jack Cupp If foreign countries aren't doing anything to endanger our lives directly then we shouldn't get invoIvea. Junior James Gillespie The U.S. should be an active voice in the world but they should put a limit on their actions. We shouldn't be so ready to jump into a situation armed for battle.

The Class of 1984 went through change during their sophomore and junior years re- sulting in a united and insepara- ble Senior Class. Arriving on campus August 29, one immediately noticed a drastic change in the appear- ance of the new Senior Class. They came knowing they were seniors, and that they ruled the school. Exercising this authority spread from the lunchroom to the Friday night football games and started the year off in the right way. The fall was filled with chang- ing schedules, attending class ffor fear of not being exempt from examsl and taking in the excitement from the always competitive football and soccer teams. October arrived with the new D.W.I. law which left newly turned 18 year olds spirit's shot. The three days involved in the Competency Tests for juniors and sophomores were a vacation for seniors and the first so-called 'tSenior Privilege . Ordering graduation announcements helped seniors realize that graduation was around the corner. 'tl felt like a senior when I arrived in August, but I did not actually realize that I was going to graduate until we ordered announcements! said senior Lynn Cossart. The next step toward June 1 and the Charlotte Coliseum was Friday, December 16 when seniors filled the auditorium to be measured for caps and gowns. The Senior Banquet, Decem- ber 8, was a night seniors had been looking forward to and many will never forget. The live- ly entertainment, the catered food, the memorable speeches and the hard-earned Senior Su- perlatives, were the ingredients that showed the unity of the Class of '84. The turn of the semester marked the half-way point of the school year. It also gave a week vacation for those seniors who were exempt from exams. This time was exactly what some seniors needed to com- plete college applications. You can't believe how complex those applications are, it literally takes days to complete one. said senior Jeff Lowe. The third quarter again seemed to be the longest, hard- est and coldest. With forces acting against them, the seniors' only way to survive this quarter was to set their sights on what was coming their way. With thoughts of a beach trip during spring break, the Senior Prom, Senior Follies and Senior Week, the Class of '84 survived third quarter, enjoyed fourth quarter, and walked together into the Coliseum June 1 with pride. 1 'q7,3... , . .

By the final year of high school, this became a familiar question for seniors. Seniors' first expenses came from purchasing senior por- traits, They bought portraits to give to classmates and family members. College application fees and registration fees for the SAT's and Achievement Tests were also added to budgets. Booths at the Homecoming Priceless Remembrances Keep- sakes from the prom and graduation compensate for the costs of being a se- nior. Carnival prospered from selling buttons, spirit ribbons, lion's tails, fuzzies of '84, and ban- danas to seniors. Tickets were purchased for the Senior Banquet in Decem- ber. The prom was the next ma- jor event for seniors. The guys saved money for the dinner, in- vitations, prom pictures, tickets and corsages. For the girls, the prom meant buying dresses, shoes. pocket- books and boutonnieres. Announcements for graduation concluded the senior expenses. ln summing it up, seniorJack- ie Faulkner said, Hlt cost a lot, but l'd do it all over again.

'hw Going for it all. I don't have enough money! For many students preparing for college, this was a common complaint. For some, the answer came through scholarships. Scholarships were sought af- ter as much for prestige as they were for financial aid. The Morehead, for example, is a full scholarship to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that is based on leadership, aca- demic achievement and physi' cal vigor. The big payoff . . . Seniors Lex Maultsf by, Lou Trosch and Janice Cole were nominated for scholarships to various schools. These students found that working hard for twelve years paid off. The Morehead nominees from West Charlotte were Lex Maultsby, Lou Trosch and Pe- ter Mork. Competition involved extensive interviews at the school, county, district and final levels. Mork was also nominated for the Stuart Scholarship for Davidson College, and the Century III Leader's Scholar- ship. Janice Cole was West Charlotte's other nominee for the Stuart Scholarship Mandy Barret was a state level finalist for the North Caro- lina Youth Senate Program Scholarship. State winners spent time in Washington, D.C. with their state senators. .mf 4? fy pr We for 'a52??E'i svx q.....r in ,QQ IIS KRIS DEAL - Civitans 10,11.12g Varsity Soccer 10.11,12g Spanish Club 103 Art Club 105 Latin Club 11,12 MICHAEL DEAL - Civitans 11.12: Latin Club 11.

TAYLORIA GLENN Seniors 71 A night to remember. It's fun, it's unique, it's magical, it's the promlw The magical words, t'Will you go to the prom with me? set into motion a chain of events. For the girls it meant buying the prettiest dresses, making quick trips to the beauty shop and ac- quiring the perfect tans. For the guys the paranoia of being turned down often stalled them until the last minute to brighten that certain girl's life. After finding a date, the boys headed to work to earn instant cash so they wouldn't have to wash dishes at the restaurant. While proud mothers watched their boys nervously leave in their tuxedos to pick up their dates using the fancy family car, the mothers of the girls paced the hallway waiting for their daughters date. When and if the couple ever got away from the girl's parents and camera, the night just seemed to fly with excitement. The dinner, the grand march, the dance, the after-party, the breakfast and the sunrise all help to make this a memorable experience.

What was one disease that spread rapidly and no one was immune to? Senioritis! It was the sensation that struck seniors after twelve years of hard work, heavy books, and school bells. A S'Superiority Complexl' was the number one symptom in affected seniors. Giving underclassmen the run-around was extremely popular seniors were strong believers in Do unto others as has been done unto you! Abuse in the cafeteria and ridicule at pep ral- lies were f'favors seniors loved to give underclassmen. Flurry over SATs, college ap- plications, and Commence- ment Day itself added to the 'iconditionw of Senioritis. Al- though it was highly contagious and hard to cure, a severe case of Senioritis was what every se- nior couldn't wait to catch!

Despite being loaded down with extra homework and hav- ing to take SAT's, juniors felt this might have been their best year in high school. ln my three years of experience as a junior, I have found it quite nice, and frankly, I am having a ball, said junior Wesley Finger. The junior year provided new experiences such as legally driv- ing to school and moving to the bleachers at pep rallies. Juniors jor. became more a part of the school after being inducted into service clubs and the honor society. The year was topped off with the selection of the junior mar- shalls.

Maybe that's the appeal of class rings or maybe, it's the easy ex- pression of satisfaction in school and self. i'Rings gave guys a chance to wear big gems and still feel macho, while girls quietly expressed their school pride and had a beautiful ring to show off, said junior Mollie Curry. Juniors have the opportunity every year to buy a ring through a company that solicits the school. Many do buy Two-hundred dollar hands. During the junior year, students usually order class rings from Jos- tens or surrounding jewelry stores. These rings, S150-200 apiece, last for a lifetime of memories. through the company, but others buy through a jewelry store for cost or design reasons. Junior Ingrid Kincaid said, HI bought mine through a jewelry store because the others cost too much. I love my ring even though it's not gold or silver - plus it cost less. Others buy through a jewelry store because it's faster, and the school com- pany doesn't always have exactly what is desired. Even though there were a few prob- lems, such as the wrong colored stone or the wrong size, the majority of students were satisfied with their class rings. fpfzlfyqdggjagakml ' X- if fr ,aka 2 'XA f si. - file? av . . ..., Q M Lorraine Hall Rodney Hall Telia Hand Sheilah Hardin Charisa Harris Josh Harris Dianna Harwood Jennifer Hatcher Lynn Hatley Rod Hatley Leslie Hawthorne Kathryn Hearne Paula Hedgepeth Kelly Heffner Jenny Helms Rosalind Henders Janet Hensley Isaias Herrera Laura Hill Brian Hilligoss Monique Hoey Valerie Hoffman Keith Hollen Jerry Hollifield Juniors 95 on Craig Hollingsworth Broderick Hood Phyllis Hopkins Lori Horne Bryan Horton Gloria Houston Bryan Howard Yvonne Howey Latrenda Hoyle Brenda Hudson Deana Hudson Thomas Hudson Rodney Hudspeth Pamela Huggins Marcia Hunter Gary Ingram Syphay lnthanonh Claire Jackson Karen Jackson Bryan Jett Barbara Johnson Delia Johnson Margaret Johnson Michelle Johnson 'll 5 at f W Parents Teach While some students had dif- ficulty getting along with their parents at home, others en- countered this problem at school too - their parents are West Charlotte teachers.

After choosing a college, the next big step was deciding on a major. lf one did not know what type of career they wanted to pursue, they still could get a general idea. Although colleges and careers were two important aspects of the future, students still had two major events ahead: becoming a senior and graduation. Juniors 99 Jeff Roberts Testing 1, 2, 3 . . . Tests, tests and more tests. Not only were there tests in individual classes throughout the regular school day, but also tests on Saturdays such as the Scho- lastic Aptitude Test. Throughout the junior year, students often took the Compentency Test, PSAT, SAT and in some cases the ASVAB. The Competency Test was a much needed one since it was required to pass for graduation. The PSAT was a preparatory test for the SAT. Both could be taken numerous times for improve- ment of scores. The ASVAB was a test to determine the interests of the student. Although tests were not the highlight of one's junior year, many decided tak- ing them would be worthwhile. Tests were dreaded, but when finished stu- dents sometimes found relief and then more tests.

If a driver's license was granted, the new driver then had to face the real test, alone on the road. , 3 2 I 'X Emily Morrison Jannine Morrow Antoinette Murphy John Murphy Mishell Myers Shin Nakada Archie Nance III Charlene Neely Charles Nelson Greg Newland Harriet Newlander Kim Newman Michelle Newman Susanne Newman Tung-Son Ngo Dung Nguyen Hoang Nguyen Ran Nhep Alice Nobles Jennifer Noblitt Jeff Norman Micheal Norman Vuthy Ny Chris Olson Pam Overcash Ted Pappas Chris Parker Rajesh Patel Sanet Patel Bernard Patterson Sherese Patton Robin Payne Larry Peace Burl Pearson Rhonda Pearson Sophomores 111 Are you Who speaks when spoken to?

The school day itself pro- vided some relaxation, even if only for a few minutes. Visiting with friends before school and between classes was popular, for they helped to make the day shorter. Ulf l had to stay in class all day long without seeing any of my friends, l'd go crazy, said sophomore Wendi Vogt. Lunch was a big social time of the day, as students had half an hour to enjoy with friends. The quad, the mall and the cafeteria were always filled with students talking, laughing and taking it easy. Before lunch ends, sophomores Robert Bilger and Chris Olson find a minute to converse with each other in the cafeteria. 116 Sophomores Aside from school, everyone enjoyed leisure activities in any way possible.

X Administration ore than a titl Between the incessant ringing of the phones and the problems that arose in the main office, Principal Richard Cansler and his assistants John Davis, Jim Watts and Steve Pitt were able to keep the school running. The duties of the administrative staff were seldom recognized. Their jobs involved much more time than the average school week pro- vided. They often worked late nights to accom- plish the tasks that not only affected the stu- dents, but the faculty and the school buildings as well. Requirements for the assistant principles were organization and the ability to take disci- plinary action. Davis said his role was to make sure that endeavors and plans are carried out, and to bring about innovations. He con- tinued, Daily we try to improve management With a little help from her friend, junior Leslie Haw- thorne enlists the aid of assistant principal Jim Watts as she rushes to finish last minute homework. iPhoto by Nl. Caneri Friends when of the school and its facilities to further education. Watts also served as a disciplinarian. He carried out discipline by being more than just an administrator to the stu- dents. He saw himself as having con- cems for the students and their parents as friends. Watts stated, I feel it's a rela- tionship built and based on mutual respect: firm and fair. Cansler explained, lt's my job to oversee the operations of the school: rec- ommending staff to be hired, preparing the master schedule and overseeing the curriculum. At West Charlotte there has been an increasing awareness of the need for ac- ademic excellence, which is Pitts depart- you need them ment. His job required him to work with teachers to maintain the best possible leam- ing environment and to complete reports related to education. In a nutshell, Pitt said, I help implement the instructional pro- cess. The administrators do not only govem the school, they are friends to the students. Their interaction with the students is good, but Davis commented, lt could be better, because it's nice having time just to visit with the youngsters. Cansler also showed his fondness of students by saying, I enjoy being around young people. They do a lot of crazy things sometimes, just like adults, but they are also willing to change and try new things. Bottom of the pile.

On the first day of our sophomore year, we were met by a teacher armed with seemingly endless pamphlets and hand- outs. The advisers were in charge of arranging schedules to fit needs. They helped explain all the rules, and relayed all kinds of infor- mation from the office to the students. They were also friends. HWhether my problem is academic or personal, Mrs. Vest, my adviser, is always there to help me out. l can always talk to her, commented junior Ben Reed. Advisers followed us all our years at West Charlotte. They explained and helped us work out everything needed to graduate: from getting enough credits to our class rings and graduation robes. They also helped us when looking beyond high school to jobs, armed forces, and college. I like helping my students look at the various colleges, it reminds me of when I was in high school, remarked senior advis- er Beverly Buchanan. No matter what the need, the advisers were always there to help out. l've en- joyed the availability and concern of my adviser, Mrs. Jacqueline Faulkner, during my three years here at West Charlotte, said senior Angela Featherston. 120 Faculty Making progress - Biology teacher Bill Stevens re- freshes senior Chris Poindexter's mind with a look at the achievements and disappointments of his last three years.

Phillips said he felt that if he helped students, then it was all worth it. Faculty 131 Teacher for a da While unruly classes and not enough pay were complaints for most teachers, they were even more so for substitute teachers. Substitutes were always on call and usually had little notice before being asked to take a class. Some teachers were con- tacted in advance when teachers were aware of upcom- ing absences. Occasionally a sub would keep a class for a week or more at a time. Ada Barrette, who substi- tuted frequently, said, I expect unruliness to a certain degree. It happens to all substitutes. The only thing I mind is the pay scale. Substitutes are left out on pay raisesf' Most substitutes are certified teachers who can't find teaching jobs. Barrette said that if she could find a full-time teaching job, she would rather be doing that. Some regular substitutes were: Sue Tram- mel, Tom Eckel, Ada Barret- te, Laurence Faulkner, and Dwayne Berry. For most teachers, substitut- ing was a full time job. For some, it was a thankless, but necessary job. Hard at work. Substitute physics teacher Danny Mclaughlin explains Newton's law to his class for the day.

Jonesl Forging new paths merit pay planned A subject of controversy among teachers this year was the Teacher Merit Pay Plan pro- posed by superintendent Dr. Jay Robinson. The basic structure of the plan is that new teachers entering the sys- tem would start out at a fixed sal- ary. After six years, teachers will be evaluated by a team or profession- als. lf they do not pass the evalua- tion, they lose their jobs. lf they pass. they are given a significant pay raise. The evaluation will be done ev- ery six years. This program will be Anticipation.

Dr. Robinson, who was inter- viewed in Time magazine about the program, initiated the plan and was instrumental in getting it passed through the school board. 'The whole program is meant as an incendve to get a higher quality teacher and student. Not only will this program raise the quality of teaching, it will also give future students a better educa- tion, said Dr. Robinson. Dr. Robinson said he felt the program would work. HThe way the system has been is that you get a certain amount of pay and that's it This way teachers will be satis- fied because of better conditions and increased pay.

Presidents had to conduct meetings, think of fundraising projects and keep the members informed of up-coming events, as well as take overall responsi- bility for the clubs' actions. I enjoyed the responsibilities and duties, but it's been a lot tougher than I imagined. said junior French Club president Maurice Wilson. Senior Ambassador presi- dent Janice Cole agreed. It seems like I'm always on the phone trying to get everything organized. I was excited to be elected, but sometimes wish I had the good sense to decline.

The homecoming and spring carnivals provided clubs with a chance to sell items and gave students a perfect opportunity to add to their collections of school paraphernalia. Buttons were the most commonly sold fundraisers, but there were al- ways new items to be bought. Food of all types were sold. The German Club sold pretzels, the French Club sold chocolate bon-bons, the Interact Club sold cotton candy, the Civitans sold popcorn. More unusual was the Chorus's project, a mar- riage booth where couples could stand through a play mar- riage ceremony and receive a play marriage certificate for 50 cents. In addition to having booths at the two Carnivals, clubs raised funds on a daily basis through- out the year. This was done by issuing merchandise to club members who would then sell items, such as the Junior Class Council's lollipops, the chorus departments M8cM's, and the German Club's advent calen- dars to their classmates. On special occasions such as Christmas and St. Valentines Day, selling messages was a popular fundraising activity. ln- teract's traditional candy-cane- o-grams gathered a large re- sponse, as did other clubs who sold balloon-o-grams, kiss-o- grams, carnations, mistletoe-o- grams and flower-o-grams. The Horticulture Club sold poinsettias during Christmas and the ROTC sponsored a tur- key shoot to raise money for the Anita Stroud Foundation for needy families.

Deadlines had to be met, copy edited, photos processed and headlines spaced. The staff, chosen in the spring of 1983, held interests ranging from photography to business, journalism to design. In their efforts to cover the school year, staffers could be found in all areas of the campus as well as at after-school and night-time events gathering facts on paper and capturing faces on film. Being on the staff meant us- ing creativity to carefully recre- ate the memorable and even not-so-memorable experiences that took place around campus. Yet the job was often times te- dious and demanding, as senior co-editor Roger Cobb recalls: 'EI think a lot of us put more energy into getting the year- book ready than anyone might expect. There was a reward for the hard work that the staff put in. The class was usually hectic, but 'ilt's all worth it when the book finally comes, added junior co- copy editor Ellen Andrews.

After The Mirror's first issue was distri- buted to the students, the staff labored dur- ing fifth period and on their free time in order to keep the student body and the staff aware of events happening in the school and community. Regular news stories, fea- tures, sports, and entertainment provided the basis for most of the stories. Feature editor Janice Cole said, i'Work- ing on The Mirror staff helps you to learn how to write more concisely and how to ask better question. You learn how to work with different types of people. More creative writing endeavors were published in Genesis, the school's literary magazine. Genesis gave students a chance to share their writing and art pieces with their fellow classmates. Fundraising was also important to the staff so that a better quality magazine could be distributed. Co-editor Paige Rainey said, 'This year we tried to have a larger, more cooperative staff so that we could get more students involved in the production of the magazine. We also had several special meetings where local writers talked to us and shared their work to help us with our own work. .si 146 Minfor!Genesis Heard it through the grapevine.

Achievers Cream of the crop est Charlotte has many ways to recognize out- standing students from different areas. One such way is through honorary clubs. The National Honor Society, The Order of the Lion, the Modern Music Masters and the International Thespian Society are four hon- or clubs which represent West Charlotte. Designed to recognize stu- dents with outstanding academ- ic records is the National Honor Society. i'This organization is one of the most prestigious groups l've ever joined, com- mented senior Janice Cole. The club inducts nominated students with high academic standards in the fall and spring. It is a great honor to be accepted into the National Hon- or Societyf' said Monica Faulkner, club adviser. The Order of the Lion chooses its members according to their activities in the commu- nity, school and church. Order ofthe Lion is in a sense a com- bination of all the other clubsg we look at the whole studentf' said senior Walt Reynolds, president. West Charlotte is one of the only schools in Charlotte- Mecklenburg that has this type of group. This club also supplies service to the school and the community. Interested in the arts? Mod- ern Music Masters is an honor- ary society for students with out- standing musical talent and abil- ity. 'KWe're planning a very ac- tive yearg l'm really excited about it, said senior Eddie Witlow, president of the orga- nization. This club often hosts band, orchestra and choral competitions. The International Thespian Society Troupe Number 3525 is based here. Only two other high schools, East Mecklenburg and Garinger, have a troupe. The club is for active theatre students with a serious interest in drama. Our troupe has be- come very active on the region- al and state level. said presi- dent Michelle Shumaker.

This year, however, they did something dif- ferent. In January of 1983, Dr. Charles LaBorde started interviewing Vietnam Veterans for the play '6Memorial.U After in- terviewing six veterans in the Charlotte- Mecklenburg school system two of whom were West Charlotte's own Major George Vessel and Sergent Henry Cardinal, Dr. LaBorde started writing his play, Memori- al. Working on the play made me think about my own feelings on the war in Viet- nam. I didn't want the play to take a political stand on the war. It is just about the Ameri- can involvement in Vietnam, said Dr. LaBorde. Dr. LaBorde received a grant from the Staff Development Center. With the money from the grant, he took Memorial to other high schools in the Charlotte- Mecklenburg area. i'It was an experience working with the Memorial cast, and especially with Dr. LaBorde. I know I'll never forget it, and I 160 Drama hope the people who saw it don't either, said senior cast member Emily Morgan. The cast and crew of 'iMemorial headed to the Catawba College Campus in Salis- bury for the Regjonal Competition, Novem- ber 11 and 12. They brought home five awards, including I-Ionorable Mention En- semble Acting, Honorable Mention in Acting for senior Stacy Sanders, Theater Arts Award for costumes, Excellence in Directing for Dr. LaBorde, and the play itself won a distinquished rating. Five weeks later, December 16 and 17, the players journeyed to UNC-Greensboro for the state level of competition, Dr. LaBorde earned the C.C. Lipson Best Di- rector Award, and the cast and crew earned the Ensemble Acting Award. UI know we were the best play there, but obviously the judges didn't agree, said senior Stacy Sanders. The play has been invited to the Interna- tional Thespian Societyls National Rally in Indiana this summer. These students worked harder then any group of actors and technicians I've ever worked with. I don't think they could have done any better. I'm very proud of them, said Dr. LaBorde. Getting involved.

Being in JROTC involved different kinds of activities. Like any regular class, there was classroom work to be done. Sopho- more Newton Smith said, We study dif- ferent military-related subjects like map reading and first aid, and we learn about all the famous military leaders. The second part of the ROTC program was quite different from other classes on campus. Whether it was for the rifle team, the drill team, the color guard, the drum and bugle chords or the honor guard, students always had practice, and more practice. Ev- ery Wednesday, ROTC members wore their traditiofal green uniforms, displaying their colors. The weekly inspections were only dress rehearsals for the annual formal inspection QAFU in March. There were also competitions throughout the school year for the teams. Again, there was an inspection, followed by a perfor- mance, and then trophies were awarded. First lieutenent Audrey Allen, a senior, remembered, At our first competition of the year, a squad of girls brought back a second place trophy for a fancy drill. The ROTC's major project was the Anita Stroud Foundation Fund. All the proceeds from the group's turkey shoot were used to help needy families in the community. The ROTC provided an active way to learn the history of the military, to learn discipline, or maybe even to obtain a schol- arship for college. For whatever reason stu- dents joined, much was in store for them. ROTC 165 Sewing, serving Hands on experience C C ay I take your order please?

Challenging More than a hobby class elping prepare students for a job after high school, vocational classes such as cabinet-making, auto-mechanics and elec- tronics have a place in the high school cur- riculum. Being divided into two levels, Cabinet- Making II and III, each course requires the student to learn special skills before making projects. Students in Cabinet-Making ll were assigned four projects and in Cabinet- Making III, they chose their own as long as it progressed in skill. Members of the cabinet- making classes took in a limited amount of outside work as long as it coincided with what was being taught. i'We do everything from packing a wheel bearing to fixing an engine, said auto mechanics teacher Tom Miller.

Last year as a major project in the electro- nics classes, the students did the lighting and signs for the East-Meck Junior-Senior Prom at the Civic Center. Bill Sparky Phillips says vocational classes are needed because not everyone goes to college and someone has to give a push to get students started in the working world.

The Open Program began in 1973 at the Irwin and Elizabeth Elementary Schools. West Charlotte provides the only opportu- nity for students to participate in the Open Program on the high school level.

The foreign language classes offered much more than just learning the language. They give you a chance to learn about the background of different people and their ways of life, said junior Kellie Timmons. ln most foreign language classes the lan- guage was taught with not only a textbook but also filmstrips, plays and supplementary books about the language. Through activi- ties and books, the language came alive. The students saw how the people of differ- ent cultures and languages live. Some students communicated with peo- ple their own age in other countries by hav- ing pen pals. French and Spanish classes have found that having pen pals is very successful, and it makes people want to learn more about the language, said junior Brenda Valder. 174 Foreign Language Some students are lucky enough to be on the foreign exchange program. We had two students this year, sophomore Kari Setala from Finland and senior Rafael Caicedo from Ecuador. Caicedo says he misses home sometimes, especially the food, but likes Charlotte. The German classes will travel to Ger- many for three weeks this summer. Many of the foreign language classes also traveled to state conferences during the year. Foreign language brings culture to West Charlotte. I am glad l have had the opportunity to expe- rience the excitement of a foreign lan- guage, said junior Melanie Bower.

It gives you more insight into many more different fields than a structured class, said junior Humanities student Liisa Ogburn. Humanities coordinates the study of English and history. It also involves the study of art. To help visualize what they discussed in class, students completed special activities. These included art projects such as silk screening, basket-making or other crafts of the time period studied and monologues 178 Academics - Humanities!AP future through which they shared what they learned about their term paper subject.

Among the courses required for high school graduation are those dealing with science and math. Some students, howev- er, take them because they feel they will be needed in college or because they're just interesting subjects. The complexity of math courses, ranging from Algebra I to AP Calculus, provided students with a mental challenge. Some stu- dents who excelled in their math classes took part in the annual high school mathe- matics competitions. held in the spring of the year, at UNCC or Wingate College, Awards were given to students placing first. second. and third in each level of math. The science department, which included biology, chemistry and physics courses. figures helped students explore the world around them. These classes also proved to be more interesting than others. Senior chemistry student Brian Keelan said.

Though meaningless 15 years ago, these phrases are now familiar to most high school stu- dents. These words, of course, comprise a small part of basic computer technology. The role of the computer in education is constantly changing as computers continually infiltrate the daily lives of students. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Sys- tem first recognized the need to orient stu- dents with computers in 1968, when the first computer was installed in a data proces- sing classroom. Since then, the computer has become an integral part of data related vocational courses. A bank of computers, including two new IBM modules, presently stands in the classroom. There are not enough computers, and data-processing teacher Lois Barnes feels that there never will be. Her students are forced to double or even triple-up at com- puter terminals. We have to turn away just as many people as we admit into the course, said Bames. Having taught the program for 16 years, Bames says that data-processing is ever increasing as a popular course, though lack of space and money limits the course in computer programming to a single class- room. A bank of terminals is currently being installed that will accomodate an entire class. These computers will be used not for training, but as educational tools, opening a universe of new approaches to learning old ideas. Computers have had a definitive impact on students. One can often hear two teen- agers discussing technology and using nomenclature that was once heard only in research centers. Having a command of computers and their programs will soon be an essential part of a complete education, very soon, summarized senior Tom Corwin, a student in the increasingly important data- processing course.

Activities were sprinkled in between reading assignments, notetaking, essays and tests to spice up the required American and World History classes. From The Grapes of Wrath to The Scarlet Letter to Hamlet, English students spent the majority of the year reading, dis- cussing and writing essays on novels.

Children of foreign businessmen! Though they came from different countries and spoke about 15 lan- guages, some students had two things in common: the United States and English were both foreign to them. The main purpose of the English as a Second Language program, which has been at West Charlotte since the fall of 1980, is to help the students to become competent in English as rapidly as possible and to participate in regular school classes, said ESL teacher Rae Kube. Most of the more than 90 students partici- pating in the ESL program spoke no English when arriving at West Charlotte, but learned quickly because of the program's 'isituational re-enforcement techniques. We force the students to speak English and never speak to them in their native language unless it is an absolute emergen- cy. This way they have to experience the language, not just leam about it, said Kube. New students were placed in the New- comers class. As they progressed, they A' advanced through the next four levels: be- ginners, intermediate, advanced, and tran- sitional. The goal was for them to be Hmain- streamed into regular classes by their se- nior year. Besides learning English, ESL students were taught about American culture, and newcomers were taken on field trips to places like the Nature Museum and Discov- ery Place. New to the ESL program this year was the Vocational Identification Preference Program. This pilot program was geared towards identifying students who might want to be in vocational fields. Students participated in regular vocational classes and were assisted by translators when nec- essary. All parts of the ESL program allowed students to adjust to life in the United States. lt's really done a lot for me. It's not only taught me the language, but a lot more about American culture.

At West Charlotte there were over 1 15 students who participated in the program. This was the largest group from any area high school. From October to April these businesses met once a week for two hours to sell stock, manufacture and sell a product, pay bills and salaries, discuss marketing strategy and divide their profits or losses.

Junior Stephen Pigg said, JA gives students a chance to see how a business really works and the importance of working together.

It teaches objectiveness and insight, invalu- able in the future world, thereby creating a more ethical, logical, and reasonable future society.

This was one of the most com- monly expressed emotions toward quizzes and exams. Some students studied into the wee hours of the morning. Hours of sleep were lost because of last minute cramming. HI admit it, I locked myself in my room and studied my brains out, said Junior Shar- on Kirk. The cafeteria and quadrangle filled all three lunch periods with students slumped over books studying at the last minute. Those last few minutes really seem to help, said senior Dawn Bell. i'Even if teachers do not think it helps, mentally it is a boost. When semester examinations were administered, many seniors were either at home asleep or at a job working. Seniors who had only two excused absences from class were exempt from semester exams. The Charlotte Mecklenburg School Board met with each school to set up a testing schedule for all classes. The schools were not forced to adopt this schedule, but most of the schools did fol- low through. This prevented a pile-up of tests on one day. This really helps students study for dif- ferent test, the schedule also prevents one student from having six tests on one day,'l said junior Cheryl Peek.

Crafts II students, studying textile and design and sculpture, also worked with Nowlin towards the same goals as Crafts I students. Under Mary Johnson, students in Draw- ing I and II, and Drawing and Painting Stu- dio worked with pencil, pen and ink, water- color, pastels, or any media which could be used to portray an image. Again, students kept the Scholastic Art Competition in mind while perfecting their work. Students often have artistic talent, but no chance to develop it.

I thought our players were mentally prepared to play a great opening game. Defensively we stopped a good offen- sive team. Offensively we controlled the line of scrimmage and our backs ran extremely hard. Our special teams were consistent throughout the game, said Coach Bruce Hardin. After the opener at home, the team traveled to crosstown rival South Meck. The Lions had a long trip home after a 30-13 loss to the Sabers. The next week the team was on the road again to East Meck. They played catch-up the whole game and finally took a 10-7 lead into the fourth quarter. Then the Eagles put a big offensive play together to pull ahead, winning th game 14-10.

They outlasted Olym- pic and Myers Park to win the Myers Park Tournament. In the first game of the regular sea- son, the team narrowly beat South Meck 3-2 in a shoot-out. The team excelled to a 9-0 start until arch-rival Myers Park beat them 3-2 in a shoot- out. Captain Roger Cobb led the all-star team.

The team had its largest squad ever, as the success of last year's team en- couraged new people to join. The team began practice two weeks before the start of school, August 29. When the heat wave arrived with 1000 temperatures, the team moved its prac- tices to the shady neighborhoods off Providence and Queens Roads. Races ranged form 2.6 to 3.1 miles, with the top five runners scoring the team's points. The boys team was led consistently by new member senior Chris Fisher. Seniors Eddie Hull, Tim Gestwicki, Jamie McLendon and Fred Bowden rounded out the top five. Other leading contributors were seniors Lex Maultsbyg Walt Reynolds: and Mel Love, who was the squad's only three year runner. Sophomore David Baker and junior Ned Schenck were the team's top underclassmen. We hope to improve our times and recruit new members for next year! said Schenck. During the season, the team de- feated Garinger, Olympic, West Meck- lengurg and Harding. In the conference meet, however, the team finished ninth, beating the Harding Rams. Fisher finished thirty-first and posted his first time over 18 minutes since the season's opening race. I got cold, and lost the feeling in my arms, said Fisher. The girls team was led by newcomer, senior Mandy Barret. Other consistent runners were junior Christie Snowden and senior Beth Stevens. The girls finished seventh in the conference meet and Barret placed twenty- second. Coach Bill Stevens thought it was a fun year. The members seemed to enjoy themselves and got along well with one another. Looking back, I think that was more important than a strong finish.

Scoring a team total of 18 points, the team tied with Monroe for second place, with South Mecklenburg win- ning the tournament. ln the singles play, senior Angela F eatherston and topseeded Boyer both won in the tournament opener. Featherston lost in the second round to Amy Adams of South Mecklenburg. Boyer lost her only games of the toumament in the semi-finals match against 4-seeded Sherry Evans, whom she beat 6-3,6- 2. Moving into the finals of the tourna- ment, Boyer enjoyed a 6-0,6-0 victory over Adams. In doubles, senior Dawn Hand and junior Bronwyn Mauldin had a bye in the opening game and lost in the sec- ond round. Junior Kim Kort and sophomore Meredith Stoever were defeated in their first match. Traveling to Hickory, N.C. for the Western Regional Tennis Tourna- ment, Boyer advinced to the finals direction and beat Kandi O'Connor of Thom- asville 6-1, 6-4. Proceeding to Chapel Hill, Boyer got into finals with a 2-6,6-2,6-3 win over High Point. Senior Landis Cox of Greensboro Page was too much of a match for Boyer this year, as she won over Boyer 6-4,6-O. I played my best at the time, but I guess it was just Landis' turn to win. Just wait until next year, said Boyer. Coming in third in the state in her sophomore year and second in the state as a ju- nior, Boyer may finally grasp the state championship which has barely slip- ped her reach. The girls tennis team had a winning season, losing only to South Mecklen- burg, Myers Park, Independence and East Mecklenburg.

The softball team's highlight of the year was their win over Garinger, pull- ing off a 5-2 victory. Compiling six hits compared to Garinger's two, the team was highlighted by two runs by Angie Henderson, two runs by Lynn Michie, and one run by Lisa Karmer. The Lions played a lot better than their 3-15 record shows. Often, one or two bad innings resulted in a close loss. Coach Steve Pitt, who felt that the team's hitting ability was one of its greatest strengths, said: We're hit- ting the ball better than we ever have before. The team was led by seniors Lynn Michie, the team's MVP: Lisa Far- men, an All-Conference third base- man the previous year, pitcher Linda McCutcheng and juniors Sonya Jackson and Angie Henderson. Completing the season with the highest hitting average on the team, Henderson batted a .580 for the year. Junior Dawn Hand was the second most consistent batter at .462, and junior Sonya Jackson, who returned as shortstop for the 1984 season, was third on the list, batting a .450 for the year. All three of these players pro- duced the batting power of the team. The boy's track season was not as rewarding as last year's, when the team placed second in the Confer- ence.

Following tradition, practice started early in the summer. The eleven member squad met every morning at 8:30 a.m. and practiced hard until 12 noon. After meeting in the morning, the girls would also meet for about two to three hours per night. All the hard work, long hours and fatigue paid off when the girls traveled to Boone and attended the Cheer- leading Spirit Conference Camp. They walked away with a spirit dyno- mite stick, one red ribbon, two blue ribbons, a Helping Hand Award, and the first place award for the best over- all squad. I was so thrilled that we won first place! All those long hours of practic- ing - paid off for us. It wasn't easy because there were over 300 girls at camp and they were very good also! 'l said junior Debbi Garner. During the year, the girls not only participated in game activities, they also helped sponsor a cheerleading clinic, sold spirit ribbons and cheered in competitions. ln competition, they placed first runner-up at the YMCA and went to Carowinds in the spring for the major competitive event of the year. We worked hard this year. We also had to practice alot to stay num- ber one, but it was worth it! I guess my favorite part of the year was getting ready for Carowinds because I knew the competition would be the hardest of the year! said senior Dawn Ramsey.

Taking a break from their rapid stride, students found the end of the year a time to look back and remember. Do you remember the time . . . was a re- peated statement, often followed with memories ranging from October 21, the rainy homecoming night, to February 6, the years' first snow day. For seniors, the end of the year meant gradua- tion and the finish of twelve years of secondary education. Juniors came to the end of the tough- est year and many looked forward to rising from the in-between year to becoming the ruling class. The end of the sophomore year gave tenth grad- ers a chance to remember their first days at high school and to recall friendships that had de- veloped in the days since August 29. Coming from nine junior highs and diverse backgrounds, students found social interaction a learning experience. l'm really glad for the chance to meet so many different types of peo- ple. l've learned a lot from my friends here. said senior Staci Tate. Through programs such as English as a Sec- ond Language, Academic lntemships and the Open Program, students communicated with others to benefit themselves academically and individually. The soccer team's conference championship and the JV footbalfs undefeated season brought students and faculty together to cheer on the pacesetting teams. Membership on athletic teams offered students a chance to set individual and team goals. To be continued on page 268 if Pacesetters 267 IQSLX ity! ZQQQXSBJ vy,rX?,ilU?L 'VM f i P9226 clude .

I always knew that we had the potential, we just had to want it bad enough, said senior varsity soccer player Kris Deal. I canlt think of a better way to end my soccer career at West Charlotte than a conference championship. The months between September and June were long and eventful for club members. Par- ticipants showed their dedication to the school through projects that benefitted the school, such as painting signs in the gym and cafeteria. The Executive Council, led by senior co- presidents Walt Reynolds and Patrice Dixon, set the pace for the student body by developing successful projects such as the sale of spirit links, which resulted in a profit of 351500, donated to community charities. Scholarships were goals many seniors worked toward. Senior Lex Maultsby, who received the Honors Scholarship for Duke University, and senior Peter Mork, who was nominated for several scholarships including the Morehead Scholarship to U.N.C.-Chapel Hill and the Stuart Scholarship to Davidson University, were just two of the several scholarship nominees. Throughout the year, the community's fish- bowl showed it could come together to excel in academics, sports, clubs and student life. The jacket comes last. After finishing varsity football practice, sophomore player Kell Helms gets dressed and cleans out his locker, concluding the season. The team's undefeated record set a pace for effort and accomplish- ment. tphoto by R. Cobbj Digging up the dirt.
