They say it isn't working. Busing opponents, however, need only take a quick survey of West Charlotte ' Senior High School to see that busing has worked. Each day, students came north from as far as Lake Norman, south from Pineville, east from Hickory Grove, and west from Coulwood. These different cultures and backgrounds came together by participating on athletic teams, in classroom activities, in club projects and in school functions. continued Seniors James Dau h d Horace Sma1l.Winner of Mis L b wn was Mk hP F I H :YM .n ,yum X MAO 5 r we QM W 'ww TSW WW Every litt bit counts.

Senior tennis player Katie Boyer lost only one out of 27 conference matches during her three years at West Charlotte. The Latin Club participated in the CROP Walk to raise money to fight World hunger. Socially, students found they could have a unified student body. Though students made their own group of friends, they came together for school functions. During Liberty Week, October 15-19, students raised money to help restore the Statue of Liberty. They cheered the soccer team on to an 8-3 conference record.

Each student was an individual, a single piece of the giant puzzle that was West Charlotte. at Q l I l J l i l ider Each student felt free to be himself and do whatever he wanted. When the time came, however, to show support for their school or help their community, students came together and made the pieces fit. l Pep rallies, spirit week and the homecoming carnival gave students a chance not only to show their own school spirit but to come together with the entire student body to share in their mutual pride of West Charlotte. Despite living all over Charlotte students came back to support athletic teams. School functions, too, provided students with an opportunity to come together. During Liberty Week, the Student Executive Council raised over S1700 to give to the Statue of Liberty Restoration Fund by sponsoring a Miss Liberty Contest and dance. Making the pieces fit by coming together with all types of people, students proved that even with busing they could have a progressive, unified school.

Lazy, hazy days of summer ended as students rose with the sun for another first day of school. Sophomores got their first taste of high school life and found it just a little confusing. The school is so big and spread out. It's a little scary, said sophomore Bailey Ir- win. Juniors were just glad to no longer be sophomores. I just had to smile when I got to school and realized I was no longer a baby sophomore, said junior Kathy Sven on. For seniors this was a spe- cial day. It was the last first day of their high school life. I was excited to be a senior, but when I realized this was my last year, it was kind of sad Teachers are people too. During the summer session of the Effective Teacher Training Program, each teacher had 15 minutes to teach some- thing to the other faculty members.

I really like West Charlotte. no time getting started with two soccer games and a 24-17 football victory over Pulaski. Seniors in togas and juniors in boxer shorts filled the bleachers, as sophomores dodged toilet paper from the floor at the Sept. 14 pep rally. Swedish exchange student Sophie Krook was in awe at the pep rally since they don't have them in Sweden. I've never seen toilet paper thrown like that. It was hilarious, said Krook. That night at their first home game, the football team took on South Meck in the first WBTV Game of the Week. Just before the game, the WBTV helicopter, SKY 3, landed in the middle of the football field. WC shut out South and celebrated the vic- tory at the Back to School bash afterwards. By the time the third week of school rolled around, stu- dents again were bogged down with homework, and teachers had papers to grade. The new- ness of the 1984-85 school year had worn off and it was back to business as usual. 1.-,H 8 Beginning of School Cffl MJ' D da! T KRJJF ainz Q6 K l ,rf 151-1 Sophomore sit! Sophomore sit!

The crowd waited with antici- pation for the announcement of Miss Carrousel 1984. Out of ll contestants only one would be crowned prin- cess. The crowd erupted with applause as the name of Syl- via Bellinger was an- nounced. Tears, of joy flowed from her eyes as she received the crown and flowers from assistant principal Steve Pitt. I can't believe this is really happening. I am speech- less, Bellinger said. The other finalists included seniors Leslie Hawthorne, first runner-upg Carol Nord- man, second runner-upg Tra- cey Mills, third runner-upg and Lisa Rhea, fourth run- ner-up. The contestants were re- quired to raise money to par- ticipate in the pageant. The money was raised through sponsors, and all profits went to the Junior Class Council.

Charlotte served as Master of Ceremonies. The contestants were judged on interviews, ca- sual wear and formal wear. Between divisions of the contest, several groups of stu- dents entertained the crowd. The Small Mixed Ensemble performed a musical tribute to Stevie Wonder and senior Debbie Garner dazzled the crowd with her dancing. The Freestylers, break- dancers, performed a routine to Breaker's Revenge. I was very impressed with all the entertainers. They had a lot of talent, said junior A.J. Morgan. On the whole, the pageant went very well. They were all great girls to work with, stat- ed choral director Frank Williams who was the pag- eant director. I was very pleased, Williams added.

Freed from the strains of a hectic school week, students gathered in the quadrangle Friday, November 4 for the Homecoming Carnival. The carnival was pieced to- gether by dozens of clubs sponsoring different types of activities, food and entertain- ment. Food was the most success- ful fundraiser of the carnival.

After rushing through the hectic interstate traffic, stu- dents finally arrived in the parking lot to find no more parking spaces. Once again, some students were forced to park on the gravel, grass or in that small forgotten corner in the back of the lot. Hurriedly, students jumped from their cars to catch friends on the way to class. The first bell rang at 7:25 a.m., and students left their friends to make it to class on time. Students slipped into their desks, trying not to knock them over. As the bell rang, algebra students were bombarded by a quiz Finally, students reached their advisory, a ten minute break often used to finish homework. At the time the bell to end advisory sounded, students once again fought through the sea of people to Students ex- changed a quick Hello as they fought the way through the crowd. reach second period. Some students had only two more periods before the free- dom of lunch, while others had two-and-a-half or three. Students in A lunch were fy: mx +bJ. They hoped that the rest of the day would go a little better. During class change from first period to advisory, stu- dents exchanged a quick Hel- lo as they fought their way through the crowd in the 600 building. the unlucky ones. The first lunch was packed with stu- detns. A fifteen minute waitin line was not unusual. After the wait, students had a decision to make. What do I want for lunch? The choices included hamburgers, barbe- ..ff J 'Q w..-. l r , AI cue, crackers, salad bar and that ever popular pizza! Students quickly grabbed their lunch and went their dif- ferent ways. Sorne students rushed through lunch and hurried to the library to finish forgotten homework. Others took their lunch out to the quad and talked with friends. The last lunch ended at 12:15 p.m. and students moved on to fifth period. Many students stopped at their lockers to get their books for their afternoon classes. Finally it was 1:15 p.m., time for the last class of the day. Just 55 more minues! Students watched each sec- ond off the clock until they were saved by the afternoon announcements. At that wel- come sound, students packed their bookbags. The bell finally sounded at 2:15 p.m. This school day was over and students headed home, only to return to do it all again, one more time.

This fall, however, consisted of warm days filled with sunshine and students dressed in shorts un- til the end of October As students basked in the warm fall days, SAT's, compe- tency tests, club inductions and Halloween activities filled their schedules. During the fall, seniors were concerned with selecting col- leges. Before this could be done, however, they had to take the SAT. In the fall, the SAT was administered twice, once in October and once in November. Senior Melvin Young said, I think that the test was a challenge, but I hope I did well. While juniors and seniors rushed to meet the registra- tion deadline, juniors also pre- pared to take the North Caro- lina Competency Test. This test, a requirement for gradu- ation from senior high school, is a test of a student's basic knowledge in reading and math. Junior Keia Albright said, I feel that the compe- tency test was very simple, and most juniors should have passed it. Another part of fall was the club inductions. Clubs such as Ambassadors, Civitans and Keyettes sent out applications to interested juniors and se- 77 As students basked in the warm fall days, SAT's com- petency tests, and club inductions filled their sche- dules. niors during the first week in October. After all applications were in, each club interviewed their prospective members, and then made their decisions. Fall was also highlighted by special celebrations. During the week of October 15-19, the school participated in Liber- ty Week to help raise money to restore the Statue of Liber- ty. Sponsoring a disco and a Ms. Liberty Contest, students raised close to 28400. During the week of October 29-November 2, students cele- brated Homecoming and Fall week. During this week, stu- dents participated in days such as Halloween Dress-up Day and Maroon and Gold Day. The week came to an end with the football team's victo- ry against North Mecklenburg and the crowning of Home- coming Queen, senior Regina Hairston.

For high school students dressing in the current style like their classmates was im- portant. Junior Julie Waters said, I don't really dress to impress, but I like to dress well enough to fit in with my friends. i i Clothing styles ranged from the college look to the vogue or casual look. The college look consisted of a pair of cotton slacks with an oxford shirt and a thick wool sweater. Ju- nior Matt Richmond said, Theycollege look is my favor- ite and the one I choose most often. I prefer this type of dress because it's comfortable and it makes me look older and mature. Another popular style was snowing the comfortable look, senior Eyvonne Howey sells dough-'M nuts for 'Ambassadors during the homecoming carnival. iPhoto by K. Kortl the casual look.

On con- cert days, students dressed up as the singers in the bands. For the Boy George concert, attire included long coats and black hats andalot of make- up on the face. Grateful and fans dressed inrfaded jeans and tie-dye shirts. Another stylish trend was the wearing of spiked brace- lets and belts. These accesso- ries, however, were banished from school because of the physical harm they could have caused. With the ROTC depart- ment dressing in uniform on Wednesdays, fashion mer- chandising classes dressing up on Thursdays, and other stu- dents dressing on special days like inductions and pep rallies, the dress codes were varied. The way a person dressed defined him as a part of a group or an individual. The different styles, comprised of diR'erent,attitudes and prefer- ences, made for a year long fashion show for students.

These cars, however, were of no use without the most im- portant piece of plastic a teen- ager could own . . . the driver 's license. Sophomores spent endless hours in Driver's Ed reading countless pages and watching gory films. After passing Driver's Ed and spending hours terrifying their parents, the students were ready for the big test at the license bureau. The lucky ones who passed the test and received their license felt a whole new world open to them. It gives you such a sense of freedom and indepen- dence, said sophomore and newly licensed driver Mills Cobb. This newly acquired license did the student no good with- out a car to drive. Some stu- dents didn't have their own cars and were always bugging Mom to get the keys. On the It gives you such a sense of freedom and independence. other hand, a select group of students had their own wheels. Some were given cars for their birthdays while oth- ers scriroped and saved to buy their own cars. Students with their own cars found ways of personaliz- ing them. Fuzzy steering wheels and seat covers were the year's fad. Objects also hung from rear view mirrors eww Q5 i to add an extra flair. Senior Hugh Campbell decorated his white 1967 Cheverolet La- Guna station wagon with pink dice hanging from his mirror. I figured I might as well do it. It makes my car original, Campbell said. Cars were also used to dis- play school spirit. Lions' tails, garters, pins and buttons were used inside the car while I love the WC Lions' was pre- sent on many bumpers. Park- ing stickers were mandatory - decorations for all. Cars, whether owned by students or borrowed from parents, played a central role in students' lives.

Students finally got their first snow vacation January 29, when enough snow and ice fell on Charlotte to close the schools. Students spent the day sleeping, catching up oh classwork or getting together with friends. A bunch of my friends and I got together, played football in the snow, and partied all day. It was great!, said junior Bill Trosch. Winter continued, and stu-I dents went on with their schedules.

On the evening of May 4, 1984, the Junior-Senior Prom took place at the Radison Pla- za Hotel. Senior Elizabeth Christopher said, The Prom was a special night to remember. It was exciting to see who was with whom, and to see everyone all dressed up. I also enjoyed the grand march. Senior Kathryn ,Hearne said, I enjoyed prom night very much because I was with a lot of friends, and we had a great time eating at the Cha- teauf' On Valentines Day the se- niors enjoyed a lively senior banquet where superlatives were announced.

The football team showed their perserverance as they advanced to the playoffs where they put up a good fight against the Greensboro-Page team. Even though we did not win, it's the fact that we got that far that counts, said senior Maurice Wilson. As special events like games and parties will remain as fond memories, so will close ties like friendships. The senior superlative for best couple was awarded to se- niors James Daughtery and Maria Parker. It's an hon- or that will always be a re- minder of our friendship, said Daughtery. Other students felt they would remember their teach- ers for various reasons. Senior Litly Saville said, I willllala ways remember Dr. Kiser. He's a great teacher, and he really enjoys his work. He has a way of making it interesting to the students so they enjoy learning. Ialso went to Europe with him and a group last summer, and we had a great time. Making memories is what high school is all about. Each thing students did contributed to their memories, like going to proms and making friend- ships. x Memories 39 The Statue of Liberty celebrated her ninety-eighth birthday in 1984, during which a two-year restora- tion began.

Elections played a major role in the year's events. The highlight came when Presi- dent Ronald Reagan made a campaign stop in Charlotte. Hundreds of West Charlotte students went to hear Rea- gan speak at the rally, Octo- ber 25, 1984 at the Park Ho- tel. On election day, Novem- ber 6, 1984, students wit- nessed one of the closest elections in local history when Republican Alex McMillan defeated Demo- crat D.G. Martin by the nar- rowest of margins. They also saw Republican Jesse Helms re-elected to the LIS Senate, and Republican Jim Martin elected Governor. Martin's election was capped off January 4, 1985 with the Inaugural Ball and Inauguration January 5. West Charlotte seniors Hugh Campbell, Katie Boyer, Regi- na Hairston, and Mike Cure- ton were representatives from Charlotte-Mecklen- burg. Other events included the completion of the transit mall in time for the Carrousel Parade, Thanksgiving Day, and the hurricanes that dev- astated the North and South Carolina coastline. All of these things togeth- er made an eventful year for West Charlotte students. Sophomore Grier Martin works during his father 's CD.G.

This was only the beginning. An initiation day began early on a fall or spring day. Club members woke up as early as 4:30 a.m. to drive to a new mem- ber's house to begin the initiation. I was up at 4:30 a.m.g I had to be. I was driving all the way to the boonies CUNCCJJ' said junior Keyette Susan Harris. Inductions were approached in differ- ent ways, all which usually showed em4 barrassment. The Keyettes and Key Club showed the tacky side of initi- ations. Inductees dressed in clothes that didnit coordinate. I always wondered where the clothes came fromg they were soold, not even my mother could have worn them, said Junior Lisa Hern- dan. Ambassadors, Order of the Lion and Modern Music Masters showed a more serious side, but embarrassment was still the intent. Ambassador inductions were a week long. First inductees wore boxer shorts and something funny on topg their faces were also painted. The next day they were dressed up and were given a rose and the rest ofthe week, they wore a WC sweatshirt. I Order of the Lion, an honor club for students who excel in all-around school leadership, also held inductions. The in- ductees wore lion tails and painted their faces with lion whiskers and nose. Newly inducted Modern Music Mas- ters adorned paraphernalia of the music world. This induction was much like that of Order of the Lion. Modern Mu- sic Masters is an honor club that honors students who show outstanding music talent. The day had come to an end. Induc- tees survived their embarrassing day at school. When they looked back on initi- ations, they laughed and expressed how much they had really enjoyed the day. I loved itg it was embarrassing but that's 0.K., I get to do it to someone next year, said junior Ambassador Christy Keltz. You mean I have to wear this?!

Lion paraphernalia sold by clubs ranged from lion tails to spirit buttons. These fundraiser products sold through- out the year, but mostly at carnivals. Homecoming and spring carnivals were perfect opportunities to sell club pro- ducts. The art club designed and made their own West Charlotte bandannas.. Keyettes made I Love WC buttons, while the varsity cheerleaders sold car bumper stickers. Food was also a popular item at carni- vals. Some of the most popular booths were the German Club's pretzels and the lnteract's cotton candy booth. A variety of little snacks could be bought daily throughout the school year. M 8r M's were popular among many clubs. The junior class sold Spree and Sweet Tarts to help raise money for the prom. The German club sold candies from na- tive German speaking countries.

While fundraising insured clubs with rnoneylfor their next projects, something was also learned from it. Fundraising is beneficial because it helps teach money management and how to allocate funds. The students also learn about priority concerning how they spend money, said Key Club adviser Bill Stevens. Do not bump.

This council, made up of nine sophomores, worked to bring in money for next year's prom. The Junior Class Council was one of the busiest councils all year. They pre- pared for the prom which was held at the Civic Center May 10. Money for the prom came from candy sales, Carrousel Pag- eant and Battle of the Bands.

Discos give students a chance to express them- selves freely, said junior Brian Watt. All the councils combined to choose who would participate in Let's Dance, a TM program sponsored by WPCQ 36 and Sun Drop. On February 9, sixty West Charlotte students were seen breaking and grooving.

A lot of work is involved in competitions, so we took ad- vantage of our leisure time, said junior Meredith Stoever. With 14 members, the Small Mixed Ensemble resembled a Broadway group. The ensemble made up dance routines to different medleys such as Stevie Wonder and Fame. Senior member Mariana Schwartz said, The group is more like a family than a class. This closeness allowed the ensemble to per- form as much as possible. The Modern Music Masters, a na- tional honor society for music, had the best musicians in the school, whether it be a band, a chorus or an orchestra member. Debbi Garner and Mariana Schwartz were co-presidents of the club. It functioned just like any other club, with service projects and meetings. Members sold Reese's, M 8x M's, Krackle's and Hersey bars in order to raise money. The new members performed at the formal induction ceremonyg however, they came to school the day before dressed as a note, a clef, a composer, or something else associated with music.

Members of these staffs worked each day to bring the fin- ished product to the student body. Over the years, The Mirror has estab- lished itself as one of the finest school publications in the South. Last year, it received more individual section awards than any other school in the North Caro- lina Scholastic Press Association, and a Columbia medalist ranking ftop national rankingl. The Mirror statf members tried to bring out an issue every month which fea- tured stories of interest to teachers and students. Co-editor-in-chief senior Ned Schenck said, The Mirror provides a useful service to the school because it combines quality news reporting and timely articles which all of the students seem to enjoy. The newspaper class was run like a real business. The school provided 851500, but that wasn't enough to produce a paper according to business manager senior Hugh Campbell. We had to get adver- tisements and contributions to help raise the remaining money, he said. Another school publication was Gen- esis the literary magazine. It provided an outlet for teachers and students interest- ed in creative writing or art. The main goal of the staff was to increase interest and support among students for the mag- azine. We tried to reach out to the student body to give students a chance to see po- etry, short stories and prose written by their peers. When they see what their friends have written, they are usually sur- prised, said senior editor Paige Rainey. Both publications involved long hours of writing, editing, typing and other time consuming tasks, but when they come out, it all seemed worth it,', said Schenck. ,F With a team effort.

These phrases echoed throughout Room 403 as the Lion Staif put together another yearbook. The workshops were great and the speakers were terrific. I feel we learned a lot and got many good ideas for this year 's bookg it's going to be a killer, said senior co-editor Becky Terry. Once school started staff members spent hours in and out of the classroom to produce the Lion '85. Vacations somehow became workdays for yearbook staifers and often weekends too. People just have no idea how much time we put into this book. I couldn't count how many ex- tra hours we've Worked, said senior copy editor Ellen Andrews. Still, the amount of work and the pres- sure of deadlines wore on staders. Some- times staff morale gets pretty low because the work is tiring and the pressure is try- ing on -peop1e's nerves, said junior Blake Leggett. The staff, however, found partying a way to relieve the tension, whether it was an impromptu pizza party that gave the staif a break from work or a birthday par- ty that was celebrated in the classroom with cake and song. While working on the staff was often fast paced and hectic, visions of the fin- ished book kept the staff going. Senior co- editor Jackie Thompson said, It's go- ing to be hard to live up to last year 's book.

'fr Favorite teachers, subjects, places to go all add up to if i i i Senior fa orites hat classes should I take? What should I do during lunch? Who is the best teacher to have? To learn the answers to these ques- tions, all one had to do was ask a se- nior. Who would know better than someone who had been at West Char- lotte for three years? Feeling that they were the superior class on campus, the seniors definitely had their own opinions as to what the best things at school were. When it came to classes, English was the over- all favorite, history came in second, and Word Processing and Computer Programming ran a close third. As for teachers, Dr. John Kiser was overwhelmingly chosen as the best teacher. Dr. Charles LaBorde, Carolyn Lawrence, Ron Aldridge and Betty Seizinger all tied for sec- ond place. According to the seniors, the best places on campus were the mall, the quad and the parking lot. And of course, most of the seniors felt that the best year was their senior year, and the best lunch period was A lunch. The class of '85 which set an exam- ple for the rest of the school to follow, was definitely a class to be remem- bered and a class of its own opinion. 76 Seniors!Senior Favorites Cooke- Deal Ig 2 ar ' 1 X ,NS ji ff' 4,1 A Helping Hand.

It's enough to drive anyone crazy, said senior Anne Broadway. Seniors who wanted to attend college spent hours going through the application process. Once students had limited their college choices, they began working on their applications. Students filled out form after form. They an- swered questions ranging from what their full name was to what their social security number was, to the address of their parentis last resi- dence outside of North Carolina. Many colleges also required es- says. Students found themselves trying to explain things such as how they had exhibited the qualities of initiative, creativity, organization and perseverence. Interviews also counted in the se- lection process. While sometimes difficult, they weren't as ghastly as students imagined. My interview really wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I did almost die though, when they started asking me stuff about foreign affairs, said senior Christie Snowdon. Students also had to take SAT's, get transcripts sent and get teacher recommendations. As senior Marianna Schwartz said, Applications took a lot of time, but months later if that accep- tance letter arrived in the mail, it was worth it. One page to go. Added after school hours allowed senior Todd Owens time to fill out an application to Wake Forest University for early admission. iPhoto by N.

Willhelml Seniors!Best Year of High School 83 Seniors Hard work, dedication, added hours, bring seniors Extra help oing to college can be an ex- pensive undertaking. Sometimes, students found the college of their choice too expensive, but many scholar- ships were offered to help ambitious students go where they wanted. The most popular scholarship was one offered by Duke Power which could be used at any school of the recipients choice. seniors Reed Cooley, Paige Rainey, Anna Towns and Mike Alexander were among the dozens of students who applied for this scholarship. Many other opportunities were offered to ambitious students. The National Merit Scholarship Corpo- ration gave over 6000 awards worth more than 24 million dollars. Semi- finalists included seniors Mike Schill, Ewan Park, Chuck Crews, Renee Berry and Anna Towns. Crews was also nomi- nated to Davidson's Stuart Scholar- ship. One of the most prestigious awards was the Morehead, a fully paid scholarship to UNC-Chapel Hill, for which seniors Todd Porter and Liesl Frodsham were semi-fi- nalists. Porter said, The process is long and requires many essays and interviews. The Elks Foundation offered scholarships worth nearly one mil- lion dollars. Seniors Celeste Cham- bers and David Lucas, among oth- ers, applied for these scholarships. Chambers also applied for the Alumni Scholarship to the North Carolina School of Agriculture and Technology. Special opportunities were of- fered to minority students who needed or desired aid. Seniors Minh Dang and Renee Berry were both applicants for the UNC Progue scholarship for minority students. Berry was also a semi- finalist for the Negro National Mer- it Scholarship. Although college was an expen- sive undertaking, students found that scholarships which offered aid to both needy and ambitious stu- dents made it possible for them to attend the college of their choice. gasses High expectations in achieving excel- lence.

Spring break signaled spring fe- ver, Easter and the beach! When April 3 arrived, students headed for the Carolina shores to spend their spring break with friends. Spring break proved not only to be time to catch the rays and enjoy the ocean, but it also gave students a sense of freedom and a glimpse of life on their own. I love spring break. I feel so free. I can make my own decisions on what to do and my parents aren't there shaking their heads no, said junior Kathy Sven- son. The beach was by far the most popular spot for a spring break va- cation, but other students spent their vacations at homes of rela- tives. When spring break came to a close, students headed back home for Charlotte and school talking of fever their adventures and already crying, I can't wait for next year's spring break. Fun in the sun. During spring break, senior Bronwyn Mauldin soaks up the sun while catching up on her history. iPhoto by S.

Students agreed that there was a special pattern to follow. Senior Laura Sippe said, Once you've applied to a lot of colleges, then you've got to decide which best fits your taste by looking at particu- lars. The range of particulars was great. Senior Cheryl Peek said, A good school has to offer the kind of curriculum that you want with a reasonable tuition. Sippe agreed and added, It has to be within an hour of a big city. Students found that, in choosing a college, they had to keep their in- tended major in mind. They discov- ered that many schools offered only one type of education. Senior Da- vid Epley said, The colleges I consider have to offer a liberal arts education. While some students were busy looking at the educational side of college, others were concerned about the social side. Epley said, It should have fraternity houses and co-ed dorms. After all, the social as- pect of college is very important. Senior Cheryl Snow said, The ratio of boys to girls-there has to be more boys. Senior Michelle Schumaker said, Social activities are impor- Choice Taking a break. After a long day touring UNCC, senior Ginger Austin rests in front of the Colvard Building. iPhoto by B.

On the whole, students were con- cerned with location, curriculum and social life when choosing the college where they would spend their next two to eight years.

Throughout the year, juniors took the North Carolina Competency Test, the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The competency tested a student's common knowledge and was a require- ment for high school graduation. Junior Paige Johnson said, The test was very easy and I learned a lot from it. Most of it was familiar to me and it let me know how much I really knew. Juniors also took the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test. This test gave underclassmen a feel of what might be on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. It also de- termined the National Merit Scholarship qualifiers. Junior Kim Mitchell said, It was a challenging experience, but it will help me on the SAT's. Junior Patricia Watts said, It gave me more knowledge of what to study for the SAT's. In the spring, juniors often took their first shot at the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the test required for admission to most colleges. The test was really long and hard. I just hope I did all right. At least I know I can take it again next year, said junior Jenny Bailey. While taking tests was a tedious task, juniors had the chance to sharpen their test taking skills throughout the year. This helped them prepare for major ex- ams and college entrance tests that will be taken in the future.

When juniors returned to school, they were given the option of driving to school but with that option came responsibility. Only juniors and seniors could drive to school. Since driving was restricted, juniors felt freedom once they could drive to school. Driving is a privilege, a privilege that says Pm responsible, said junior Alan Pringle. ' The responsibility of driving just didn't stop once one reached the park- ing lot. Parking stickers were bought in order to park. Failure to show valid parking stickers resulted in a S3 park- ing ticket. Parking stickers could also be revoked for reckless driving. Driving could be fun, and many inci- dents made driving a comical experi- ence. Junior Penny Bumgarner said, I love to yell at people who get in my way and watch their reactions. Along with driving came many new responsibilities, such as, parking stick- ers and a responsibility to be a cau- tious driver at and away from school.

It was the one event that students nev- er lost sight of during the entire school year. It didn't take place until the spring, but students planned for it all during the winter. The Junior Class Council carried the responsibility of organizing the prom. A whole year's work was devoted to rais- ing money specifically for this event. The council first met during the sum- mer to plan fund-raisers and activities. The beginning months of school were spent organizing the Carrousel Pageant. The contestants raised money in order to participate. The donations went to the Council. In the end, the hard work was all worthwhile because of the profits, said junior class council president Blake Leggett. The Junior Class helped its council with candy sales. Sweet tarts and Sprees were distributed to the homerooms. Homeroom representatives, in turn, gave them to the other members. The candy sale raised over 31000. Junior Class Council member Gina Pettis said, Sell- ing candy raised a lot of money, but the Carrousel Pageant and the Battle of the Bands paid for the majority of the prom. CounciladviserBrendaFroneberger was also pleased with the turnout. The Battle of the Bands, which was held dur- ing fourth period, attracted most of the student body. Tickets cost 551, but the stu- dents didn't mind paying a fee to get out of class and to see friends perform. Dances were also a popular fund-rais- ing idea. The disco put on after the Myers Park football game raised money for the prom. The Junior Class Council also or- ganized the ordering of class rings. Stu- dents ordered in October and the rings were delivered in December, just before Christmas. The council did not forget the faculty members who helped with projects throughout the year. Each member of the council baked cookies, put them in a bag and tied it with a ribbon. The bags were placed in each faculty members box just before Christmas vacation. Being on the council involved much work, but members didn't mind. The Council worked hard all year, but the feel- ing of giving the students a successful prom was more than enough repayment! said Leggett. T 'A Listen up!

These terms described class rings. During the junior year most juniors ordered a class ring that would be a token of their high school days. Rings were ordered in October and were received by students in December. Upon getting the rings, students were ex- cited. Junior Michelle Cathey said, Getting my class ring makes me feel like l'm getting older. Junior Tammi Varosky said, It makes me feel good to be able to put it on. For most juniors, the ring that they or- dered was a symbol of what they had par- ticipated in during high school. Some had athletes on them and some had a scholars symbol on them. Having a class ring could be expensive. The prices ranged from 574 to 3240. Cathey said, The cost was definitely a lot but the value that it will have for me years from now is what made it worth the price. Proud display. One of the highlights of the junior year was receiving class rings. Junior Suzette Wil- liams shows the Art Carved ring she received on December 12. iPhoto by C. Crewsl J uniorsf Class Rings 103 juniors From Civitans to Interact, applications first step to Being accepted to club eyette, Ambassador, Civitan, and Key are all names of ser- vice clubs around school. Be- ing a junior allowed students to apply and belong to these clubs. Junior Julie Waters said, You can apply as a sophomore, but most sopho- mores are usually scared. As a junior you have more confidence and you have more of the feeling of wanting to be involved. Applying to clubs for juniors was a fairly simple process. The first step was to choose a club and then complete an application. After the applications were turned in, the students were in- terviewed by present club members and selection was made on who would be in the club. After the voting, the persons who received the greatest number of votes were inducted into the club. Along with new memberships to clubs, juniors found new responsibil- ities to their school and community. New Ambassador member, Karin Hinshaw said, I spent a lot of time on service projects, but it was well worth the effort. - Even though juniors may have to worker harder, being able to partici- pate in clubs will help the year progress faster with more good times.

My junior year was harder than my sophomore because of harder teachers and a bigger responsi- bility for my classes, said junior Lisa Grier. As sophomores, students just learned to adapt to high school life. Se- nior year students sat back trying to hold on until graduation. The junior year is hardest because the junior year is most important for college. If I don't do well, no major college will accept me, said junior Simon Kahn. Getting into colleges pressured juniors the most. Everything revolved around getting into a good college. Good grades, high PSAT and SAT and extracurricular activities were keys to that dorm room at a college. Along with pressures to do well aca- demically, students also felt pressures to have an active social life. My friends in other grades would ask me to go out on the weekends, and often times I couldn't between term papers, unit papers and projects. I often had to turn down that most inviting invitation, said junior Ju- lia Coon. Although the pressure remained, stu- dents usually found time to study and go out and have a good time. As Kahn said, The junior year is a lot of work, but it's a fun year in spite of the pressure. 106 J uniorsfT0ughest Year 3 'T Smyre - Wilson f v 1 X ltr A 5 I Sonya Smyre Cornelius Staton Beth Stewart Robert Stewart Meredith Stoever Cynthia Stover Everett Stubbs Todd Stutts H'-'Sh , Kathy Svenson Michael Taylor James Terry Phayvanh Thanonglit Eugene Thompson fj,,'VH QQ? fl. lb! 3 Billy Threatt Corey Tinnin Dao Tran Bill Trosch Tracy Tucker Vickie Tucker David Turner Bobby Tyson I-.Ai '- 7 -1' ,Y..,.7 Beth Vanderburg Tammy Varosky Geetha Veerabhadrappa 'war' Rob Vest Wendy Vogt Keefe Walker Eric Wallace Fred Wallace Chris Walsh Jamey Ward Ron Ward Robert Wardell Dawn Ware Catherine Warren Julie Waters Katherine Watland Richard Watson Brian Watt Michelle Watts 'YQ f PV' ,za J 'bl J' , ,aaa1 ll LeDessa Welch L Ronetta Westbrook xQ -V 2 Stacey Whitacre f Edward White Ethan White Z' Roland White Will Whitsett .

In a survey, 75 juniors were asked what would make their senior year per- fect. The majority responded that the privilege of being able to leave campus for lunch would be welcomed. Junior Dwayne Montgomery said, I feel that we are responsible enough to han- dle leaving campus and returning without any problems. The second most popular response was to extend the lunch periods from 30 minutes to 45 minutes or an hour. Junior Emily Morrison said, If the idea of leaving campus doesn't work, an extended lunch period would give a break in school work. It's really a ques- tion of senior responsibility. A different taste. Many juniors wish to eat lunch out their senior year. Juniors Prissy Campbell and Kenneth Wilson try this out early as they make a quick trip to Burger King. iPhoto by E.

Junior Heather Bailey said, A -fun part about being in high school is having pep rallies and celebrating homecom- ing, but we need to have more school spirit as a whole to show how proud we are of it. Another response given by juniors was to have more senior activities. Ju- nior Julie Waters said, There are so many people in the school that we real- ly don't get to know our classmates. If we had more activities, we would know better the people we went to high school with. A third response was for everyone to become closer friends with at least one person they didn't know before.

Sophomore William No- bles who has an older sister, senior Alice said, It really does not affect me that much. I rarely see her on campus. Others felt that having an older brother or sister at school had a lot of advantages. Sophomore Joseph Gregory, whose older sister, Ashley is a senior said, I never have to worry about how to get to school. I just go however she does. Still others felt uncomfortable about attending school with a brother or sister. Junior Mary Beth Cooley, who has a brother, senior Reed, said, Sometimes I felt uncomfortable when I saw him in the halls, but we get along pretty well, so it really did not matter. Overall, most of the students who had brothers or sisters on campus were not affected by them. In some cases, they felt uneasy, but family members rarely saw each other.

In the past, seniors have been exempt- ed from exams if they missed two or less days. In '87, however, seniors will be faced with exams just like the underclasses. Also, beginning with the class of '87, 20 credits must be obtained in order to grad- uate. In the preceeding class, only 18 credits were required for graduation. Sophomores had a variety of feelings about the changes. Some sophomores ad- mitted they hadn't really considered it a great deal. I really haven't thought about them that much, yet I know I will when 'I I my senior year rolls around, said sopho- more Kristy Helms. In response to the exam exemption, sophomore J .G. Pierce said, In a way, it's good and bad. It will encourage educa- tion and learning, but at the same time, discourage you from coming to school ev- ery day.. Others believed it to be unfair. Sopho- more Mary Hatcher said, It's not fairg seniors should have more privileges than underclassmeng exam exemption is some- thing seniors look forward to. Whether fair or not, the school board passed the policies and the class of '87 must accept the fact that they will be tak- ing more classes and taking exams. Bless you! Many sophomores felt pressured to at- tend class because of a new school board policy re- quiring them to have 20 credits for graduation.

Mom and Dad don't ask as many questions when I want to go out. -Ashland Vaughn The best thing about it is that I know that it will end one day, and I'll no longer be a sophomore. -Derek Edwards Pm going to be taking Driver's Ed., events and getting my license soon. -Jenni- fer Rogers Nothing really, I don't have my license yet, but I have made a lot of new friends. -Jonnie Morris The best thing about being a sopho- more is that it only lasts one year. - Colby McKnight I'll finally get my license. --Jenni- fer Grindstage I'll have a lot more independence. -- Scarlett Hicks No more junior high life, and freedom to do things without consent. -David Jolly 118 SophomoresfBeing a Sophomore gjrinf aw' gg Q..- I Lach - Miller ga.: W' 'JN Y' -v- fy 'YU' nw., W- M . an -AA.: of-ww at 5' 55 ff 'QL af fb f l X mf' , K . i Lay Lach John Ladd Sok Lang Scott Latimore Christopher Lawhorne Carmella Lee Fernando Leiva Donovan Long Atonya Love Janina Lowery Tom Lucas Phong Luong Ann Lyerly Leslie Lynch Michael MacConnell Skip Mangum Som Mao James Marshall Dave Martin Grier Martin Glen Martin Julia Martin Kelly Martin Pamela Mason Michelle Mathews Pamela Mattison Katherine Mattocks Mitzi Mauldin Phenicia Maxwell Sabrina Madwell Kevin McCall John McCarroll Byron McCaskill William McClain Bonita McCleave Walter McConnell Jonnie McCown Jonathan McCullough Ricky McElrath Chandra McGill Kenneth McGrant Rick McKenzie Colby McKnight King McNay Jim McRee Bill Mebane Ricardo Medina Anen Medlin Kathleen Melton Latanja Melton Kimberly Menhinick Joseph Michalowski Cheri Miller Matthew Miller Shannon Miller Sonjia Miller SophomoresfBeing a Sophomore 119 Sophomor Sharon Mills Catherine Modlin Gina Moore James Moore Joyce Moore Suzan Moore Patrick Moragne DeWayne Morris Tommy Morris DeWayne Morrow Jim Murray Jeffrey Nance Donald Nevills Joseph Newlander Saray N gear Kim Nguyen Tuyen Nguyen Albert Nisbet William Nobles Sitho Ny Vuthy Ny Roger Oakes Melissa Oglesby Felix Ogunba Vincent Oliphant Christian Ouimet Paula Overcash Damon Owens Kenneth Patterson Monique Patterson Kim Payne Jennifer Peace Christopher Pearson Thomas Pepper Corey Perry Dewayne Perry Robert Peterson Duong Pham Jane Pierce Ruffin Pierce Sandra Plummer Jeffrey Plyler Leah Poole Lisa Pressley Wayne Price Michelle Priebe Heather Priest Bradley Prillaman Robert Proctor Susan Pruitt Scott Puckett N avin Puri Barbara Putnam Dana Queen Marshall Rackley Amanda Rankin 120 Soph0moresfLooking up to Seniors W H fi WM W , , WEE .1 7 W HQ 1 v 91 Mills - Rankin vie 5' u-., ...neun- H217 Seniors demand respect, but sophomores are willing to Intense Conversation.

Stephen Pitt spends his day handling discipline and various academic problems. The new vice principal, Sherry Liner, spends her days assisting teachers in getting materials be- I I l I r 1 cause she is in charge of instruction. The vice-principals' days are some- what structured with daily routines to follow. Cansler, on the other hand, has no set routine for a day. One day I may be at a meeting in Raleigh, the next day in Greensboro and the next back at school. My schedule is very flexible. It must be for me to to my job well. Cansler and the other adminis- trators are busy, but always have time for students. Cansler said, Our job is to help the students and all of us are willing to do so. Discussion.

In the spring of 1982, West Char- lotte teachers including Shirley Cor- coran, Sharon Williamson, Patsy Rice, and Betty Seizinger joined teachers from all over the school sys- tem in West Charlotte's auditorium for a series of lectures on Effectiveness Training. Dr. Madeline Hunter led the workshop which was based on ma- terials and concepts developed by UCLA's Experimental School. During the fall of 1983, these teach- ers began planning to teach their col- leagues the method. The rest of the faculty spent ten hours that spring and 20 hours last summer hearing lectures. At the end of the training, each teacher was required to create a 15- minute demonstration lesson for small groups. The lessons centered on spe- cial hobbies or interests and included topics such as how to spit-shine shoes, how to eggblow, how to juggle and how to macrame. Though the training took a lot of time, teachers felt the benefits were worth the time spent. I think it was good for a lot of reasons. It gives us teachers a common ground to talk about strategies since we're all aiming for the same thing. Also, I think it brought the staff as a whole a lot closer together and that's important too, said Shirley Corcoran. 130 FacultyfEffective Training Hendricks - Overcash . p RAE KUBE ESL CHARLES LABORDE Drama, Thespians CAROLYN LAWRENCE English, NAACP PAT LIN TON Occupational Preparation CHARLES MCCULLOUGH Driver's Education, Basketball Coach JOYCE MCSPADDEN Academic Intemship Coordinator RICK MISKOLITZ Math, Senior Class Council ' BARBARA MUSE History PHYLLIS NANN EY Math A CONNIE NOWLIN EWSBBORNE ' Math iw- 3 JOHN OVERCASH , w,,,, Competency - is Toss up!

The school's faculty selected Sei- zinger who also coached the debate team. Teachers were nominated by their peers, and the faculty voted from the nominees. I was very ex- cited when I found that I had been selected, Seizinger said. After the school selection, Sei- zinger went on to East-West Char- lotte area competiton where she fin- ished first runner up. This selection involved an application, an inter- view and essay on the meaning of education. I really enjoyed being able to say what education meant to me, Seizinger said. I find it a very important part of life. Students see Seizinger as a good and unique teacher. Junior debater Ashley Siegory said, Mrs. Sei- zinger helps you when you need it, but she also lets you learn on your own. I like that. When asked for one statement that expressed her feelings about this honor Seizinger stated, It real- ly is nice to be recognized for good work by your peers.

One of these programs was the English as a Second Lan- guage CESLJ Program. This program was designed to help foreign students adapt to the United States and to learn the English language. The ESL program has been at West Charlotte since the fall of the 1980 school year. The program has Worked very well. I think that it has really helped a lot of students adjust to a new way of life, said ESL teacher Rae Kube. Another program on cam- pus was the Open program. The Open program began in 1973. West Charlotte is the only area high school that of- fers open classes. Open classes are offered in history, English, and science. The classes are designed to allow students to work at their own pace with an emphasis on creativity and in- dividuality. Sophomore Open program 136 Special programs Open doors, open minds.

It lets me be creative and original. It lets me be myself. A third special program of- fered did not occur on campus. This was the Academic In- ternship Program, headed by Joyce McSpadden. This program gave students the X L' f,.:..f1 1 i . chance to learn about busin- esses in the community. Students who were in the program chose a field of study and then reported on a regular schedule to a designated busi- ness. Students were required to keep a journal of their ac- tivities and received V4 credit unit for their work. Junior Garrett Barber, who had an internship at NCNB said, The program gave me a great opportunity. I learned a lot about the business world.

Competency classes were designed to teach students the skills necessary to pass the North Carolina Competency Test. The classes offered spe- cial help in the areas of Eng- lish and math. Competency math teacher Agnes Cooley said, I tried to teach general concepts in Ways that would be interesting to my students. Another special class of- fered was Advanced Place- ment or AP.

If the stu- F9fl?3f 'elffi' gat? wwe ii iiii what lll the-profit-my r , W i iiiiiii iiir i -been ver? beneficial exgeriergef' dents passed the exam, they were eligible to receive college credit for the class. AP courses demanded a lot from those involved, but the students found it to be worth the effort. Senior AP English student Mike Schill said, We worked hard, but we learned a lot. As well, the class prepared us for college and helped us know what to ex- pectf' Another special class open to students was Humanities. This was a co-ordination of Engish and history and could be taken on the sophomore or junior level. Students in Hu- manities participated in spe- cial projects throughout the year. Sophomore Humanities students put on a Medieval Night and junior Humanities students presented dramatic monologues to their class. Junior Humanities student David Hedges said, The classes are very hard and there are a lot of joint projects re- quired, but you learn a lot too. Also, learning about the same time period in English and history makes things less con- fusing and a bit easier. Special classes offered stu- dents new opportunities and chances for education. Principal Richard Can- sler said, The diversity of classes offered at West Char- lotte allowed students to ex- plore new horizons and devel- op new ideas. They were really important to the uniqueness of our school and students. Preparing For The Future.

In Var- sity Debate the team of se- niors Lenny Vermillion and Ken Nanney Went to Octo- Finals at two nation-wide tournaments. Senior Bron- wyn Mauldin competed in Humorous Interpretation and won numerous awards. Maul- din said, Competing lets me get up in front of people and act like I can't do every day.

Learning the correct way to care for and use a camera, as well as how to develop prints, were important subjects in Judy Crumpler's photogra- phy classes. Junior Chris Morris said, I've learned about many aspects of photog- raphy that I never even knew existed. While some students were learning how to take pictures, others were busy drawing. Se- nior Eric Menhinick, an Arts II student, said, I've al- ways enjoyed art and drawing, ' rve learns-dabour manyaspects I of photography that I never even knew existed. and I like the classes here be- cause they introduce you to all sorts of media and new styles of art. Sophomore Drawing I stu- dent Ken Cox said, Art is an expression of how one feels about themselves and others. That's what I've learned in drawing. In the fall, Charlottetown Mall sponsored a contest where art students were to submit drawings of their per- ceptions of what the world would be like in the year 2009. The drawings of junior Pam Bush and sophomore Brid- gette DeFravio were two of the twenty drawings by Char- lotte-Mecklenburg students selected to be placed in a time capsule. Crafts teacher Connie Nowlin said, My goal is to have students do as many dif- ferent things as possible - jewelry, pottery, sculpture. I want to expose the students to many forms of art.', Crafts II senior Morgan Carter said, I like to do any- thing that's creative. I've made jewelry and pottery, but my favorite project was silk- screening, which is a print making process, not unlike T- shirt printing. Learning how to take the creative ideas in their heads and use their skilled hands to make them real is what arts, crafts, and photography stu- dents did. Excellence is an art.

Nevertheless, drama and technical theater were two of the more popular classes that students chose to take. Senior Elizabeth Merrill said, It's a great opportunity to learn and have fun doing it. That doesn't mean acting is always easy, however. In the fall the Drama III class put on four one act plays, each of which was entered in the North Carolina Theater Conference Play Contest.

The emphasis on academ- ics tends to pull the student away from J ROTC, which was an elective into the areas of the hard-core subjects, said Vessell.

Junior Vinnh Luu said, We study a lot of famous military leaders. We also watch a lot of . films and spend a lot of time discussing leadership skills and how to develop them. Aside from the classwork, members of the J ROTC par- ticipated in drills. Whether the students were members of the rifle team, the color guard, the drum and bugle corps or the honor guard, they always had hours of practice, practice and more practice. Along with the practice, members of JROTC had weekly inspections. Most Wednesdays the members dis- played their traditional green uniforms. These weekly in- spections were only dress re- hearsals for the annual formal inspection held in March. The year also brought com- petitions for the squads. Ju- nior Newton Smith said, We prepared well for all of our competitions. We got ex- usually did well. For the fourth consecutive year the JROTC was named an honor unit at an inspection at Ft. Bragg in Fayetteville. Major Vessell said, We were in the top five percent of all 59 J ROTC units in the state. Our goal is to receive honor unit with distinction, which is the highest rating, and only two percent of the North Carolina squads get it. One of the JROTC's pro- jects this year was collecting used toys for underprivileged children for Christmas. For whatever reasons stu- dents joined the class, they also developed leadership skills and received opportuni- ties for college scholarships.

In some classes, the ones putting on the show were not the students. During Miss Li- berty Week, math teacher Rick Miskolitz wore a large floor length red and blue tie. Miskolitz said, The tie went along with the theme, and it and a good meal. Senior Jackie Thompson said, We set up the breakfast to have fun and to break the daily routine. The rest of the class just sat and laughed at us, including Mrs. Corcoran. We really had fun! Individual students also provided comical classroom situations. Just before Hal- loween, math teacher John Overcash said, One of my students, Kristy Eggels, spilled a glass of water in her lap one morning. The next also lightened the mood in my class. I feel that a sense of hu- mor is almost always good for students and teachers. It cre- ates a better atmosphere for learning, as long as you keep it under control. Class Acts 149 J ome people find it hard to believe that their mind is divided into two partsg howev- er, this is true. Studies have shown that the left side of the brain devel- ops skills of reading and com- prehension. The left side of the brain is the side that con- trols most of the skills needed in academic classes. This was shown with academic courses, such as English and history. The other side of the brain is the right side which is thought to control the arts and analyzing skills. Students had the chance to develop their right brain skills in classes such as debate and art. Athletics also helped students sharpen their right brain skills. 'sf'-bff H SWS' buf fhafffl Teachers at West Charlotte had the opportunity to learn about the development of right and left brain learning skills during their Effective Teaching Program. Teacher Betty Seizinger taught the Hemisphericity workshop to the teachers. Seizinger said, I explained the difference be- tween the skills to the teach- ers and then gave them a quiz to see which side of their brain was the most 150 RightfLeft Brain Learning Future radio technicians.

Research has shown that schools stress the left-brain skills, but that in most chil- dren, the right brain is natu- rally dominant. Also, it is known that just because one side of your brain is stronger than the other, you should not give up on the weaker side. The only reason that the other side is weaker is because it has not been used as much. Many teachers believe that the schools need to take em- phasis off of the left brain skills. Seizinger said, I think that right skills are just as im- portant as the left. A student cannot truly be a good student if he concen- trates too heavily on a certain set of skills. Both sides of the brain need to be exercised continously. Though research has proved that the right side is the more powerful of the two, the left side and its skills should continue to be chal- lenged and developed. Through the programs and classes offered at West Char- lotte, students have the oppor- tunity to strengthen both sets of skills. 41' , A, Z Z .

These tests should have been enough to last one school year, but unit test, quizzes and exams also had to be taken. The administration helped students in setting up a testing schedule whereby each de- partment had a specific day to give a test. The purpose was to eliminate too heavy a load on the students. The only com- plaint was that sometimes teachers gave tests on the wrong day. Fortunately, exams came only twice a year. For many seniors exams were not a part of the year. Seniors were exempt from exams if they had not missed more than two days. Senior Mark Kern still wasn't totally satisfied, he said, Seniors shouldn't have to take exams no matter how many days they miss. For sophomores, exams were a new experience that was even frightening.

For those whose career in- terests were in such fields as architecture and engineering, drafting was the perfect course. Senior Tina Patel said, I think it's important for schools to offer vocational classes like drafting. They help in making students better rounded, and they offer stu- dents a chance to get ahead in life. Electronics requires math, but it offers students great preparation for electronic studies at CPCC and other technical colleges. We learn everything from basic theo- rems to hands-on experience, said electronics teacher Wil- liam Phillips.

The Junior Varsity football team had an undefeated conference record of 8-0-2. After tying South Mecklen- burg and West Mecklenburg early in the season, the Lions showed few signs of capturing the conference title. After two big wins against Independence and Myers Park, however, the signs improved and they went on to become conference champions.

Once again, coach Brian Tarr had a number of prospective players try out for the team in August. We had as many people as last year, maybe more, said Tarr. It was the most we've ever had. The team started the season by playing in the Myers Park tournament and finished second to a much bigger and more experienced Myers Park team. In the two other pre-season games, the Lions lost to East Mecklen- burg and beat Country Day. The team started the regular season by beating Gastonia Ashbrook Cwho was in their conference for this year onlyj and shutting out West Mecklen- burg. In their next game against Gar- inger, the team was surprised by the supposedly weaker team. Junior Rob Vest scored three goals to help the team come back and win 4-3 in a shoot-out. The Lions then beat even- SCOFB tual conference champions East Mecklenburg 2-1. In the second half of the season, the team's youth and lack of big men began to show. They lost to Independence and South Mecklenburg in close matches. The Lions also lost again to Myers Park. The team still gained a place in the playoffs, but lost to Inde- pendence in the first round. Co-captains, senior Mark Sten- house and junior Rob Vest, led the team.

Inthonanh led the team scoring with 11 goals, and Vest, who was named to the second team All-State, had 10. Leading the defense were junior Mark Schill and Stenhouse. All in all, the season was a success. We won the games we were supposed to win and did well against the stronger teams.

The boys team finished in fifth place in the conference meet at McAl- pine Greenway, improving on last year's last place finish. Senior Carlos Fletcher, who missedfourweeks ofthe season with a foot injury, was the team's top runner with a best time of 17:07. Fletcher was also named to the All-Conference team. Senior Melanie Collins ran her way to the Girls conference champion- ship with a 19:34. She equaled the same time in winning the sectionals the next week. The state competition was much more nerve-racking, said Collins. She came within three yards of the number one runner and lost by only two seconds with a time of 19:08, her best of the year. Other top runners on the team were senior Reed Cooley, junior A.J. Morgan and sophomore John Wil- liams, who were consistently good throughout the season. Other runners like seniors Ewan Park, Ned Schenck and Joe Martin improved and were helping to push the leaders by the end of the season. There's a lot more to Cross Coun- try than simply runningf' said Martin. lt is a disciplined sport in which you have to work your mind as much as your body. Many runners joined the team just to train for other sports, or to get in shape. That attitude did not last long with the strong influence of coaches Jim Lovett and Thorn Gibbons. They made us work hard, but they made us enjoy it, too, said senior Mike Schill. Lovett is by far the best coach live ever had. He pushed me further than I thought possible. Had it not been for his coaching, I probably wouldn't have done as well as I did, said Fletcher. Don't break your stride.

Sophomore Jennifer Grindstaff scored a first round upset in the Char- lotte sectional tournament, but lost in the third round. In doubles, senior Kim Kort teamed with junior Mer- edith Stoever, but they were elimi- nated in the first round. Senior Bron- wyn Mauldin and junior Alice No- bles also lost in the first round of doubles play. The spotlight, however, was on se- nior Katie Boyer during the tourna- ment. Being ranked number one in North Carolina this year, there was tremendous pressure on her to win. There was a lot of pressure, but not on me personally. It was more because I was there representing WC, said Boyer. In the finals of the sectionals, Boyer was losing to ninth grader Nori Sie of South Meck, 3-6, 3-5 and down triple match point, yet, she was able to come back and win. She advanced to the Western Re- gional Tennis Tournament, but was defeated in the semi-finals by Anna Coleman. She went on to the state tournament until she lost again in the semi-finals to Coleman. When the regular season began, no one predicted such a strong finish. After pre-season losses to Charlotte Latin and Charlotte Country Day, the team was not prepared for back-to- back losses to East Meck and South Meck. We started out slowly, but the team rallied together and came on strong in the later matches, said Boyer. The team was facing their third loss in a match against Independence, with the score tied 4-4 and only one match remaining. The team of Mauldin!No- bles, however, pulled out the victory in close sets. After this, the only other loss was to Myers Park later in the season. We had a great team and everyone worked hard for those victories, but more important, we all had fun, said Stoever. Rest and Relaxation.

The Olympic commen- tators never failed to point out that the popularity of the sport was finally picking up in momentum in the USA where it originated. Perhaps the Olympic coverage this summer sparked the large turn-out for the volleyball team this fall, an unprec- edented 25 girls. Interest in volleyball has grown since I've been coaching, said coach Gayle Fox. In past years it has been a struggle to get the 12 girls required for a full team. Though player interest increased with 25 girls at tryouts, the lack of spectator interest was significant. Usually only a few parents and an oc- casional administrator attended A point well made.

We really need student support, said Sophomore Mitzi Mauldin. With five sophomores comprising nearly half of the team, inexperience and lack of playing time were major problems. Our biggest asset is the quality of skills, said Fox. These girls are really interested in learning and improving the skills they have. In terms of skills, this is the best sopho- more year I've ever had. Of the five returning players, there were only two starters from last year. Somphiane Phabmixay and Cap- tain Tuwanda Smith. Two other strong players were junior Lydia Granger and Mauldin. With an initial record of 1-4, Fox said, We didn't start out too well, but we're improving. By the end of the sea- son, the Lions had only obtained a 5- 13 record but had gained necessary ex- perience to aid in the next season. ...,.. l Volleyball-Sitting: Lisa Lockhart, Karen Freeman, Norma Fybrace, Mitzi Mauldin, Jean McRee, Sphabmixay Somphiane, Coach Gayle Fox.

Willhelml Volleyball 171 Dribble, pass, shoot ictory W truggling to win the regular season, the boys basketball team was first in the conference. The season began with West Cl lotte suffering a defeat to Kings Mo tain. This was to be the first of tl losses during the regular season. ' Lions, however, would come back the second time they met the Mountain- eers, to pull off an 84-80 victory. After five straight conference wins, they entered the annual Myers Park Christmas Tournament. Defeating South Mecklenburg 65-58 and Hick- ory 90-54, the team progressed to the finals to face Myers Park. The Mus- tang's Dee Pritchett, however, proved to be a tough opponent, as the Lions fell to Myers Park 56-66. A string of victories and the all im- portant defeat of the Mustangs in dou- ble overtime left the team with a first place spot in the league. This assured them of advancing not only to the con- ference tournament, but also the state tournament. According to head coach Charles McCullough, the team had a strong season, finishing with a 20-5 record. We are having a very good season. There are one or two games though, that we let get by us that we could have won, said McCullough. The team's success on the court was not all luck. Hours of practice were in- volved in creating a winning team. During practice, said junior A.J. Morgan, we worked on the basic fun- damentals. The coach had us practice our offensive and defensive zones, full court pressure and ball handling, all according to how we had played in pre- vious games. The team's wins were due to the per- formance of the team as a whole and not to just one player. We have a great overall team. We're a well balanced group, said McCullough. The team depended on defense as a major key of success. Looking to start- ing guards juniors Maurice Caldwell and Morgan for back court defense and to junior Kevin Reid and senior Mike Cureton and junior Lance Jones in the front court, McCullough felt that a mixture of both offensive and defensive strengths had been vital in the team's success. McCullough said, We rely mostly on our defense, but good shooting has helped out a lot. Get up off your feet. Junior Kevin Reid gets the tip 05 against an Independence player. iPhoto by K.

Practice, skills, plays Teamwork he conference tournament began with West Charlotte in first place, followed by Myers Park in second place. The team was off to a winning start as they defeated South Mecklenburg with a score of 73-62. They then pro- gressed to the semi-finals, where they met Independence. With just 46 sec- onds left in the game, it was doubtful whether or not they would be able to pull 0E a win. After junior A.J. Morgan missed a shot, junior Lance Jones recovered the ball and scored the winning basket which put the team ahead by one.

The win- ner of the game was to stay in Char- lotte and play Henderson Vance, while the loser was to take a bus to Greens- boro Page. The Lions stayed close to the Mus- tangs until midway through the third quarter, when Myers Park outscored them 8-2 in a two and one-half minute stretch. After third quarter, they were unable to get any closer than seven points. The team's attempts to catch up failed, and they fell to Myers Park 63-71. The team then climbed on a bus to go to Greensboro to face Greensboro Page in the first game of the state tour- nament. Overall, it was a successful season for the boys, since they were able to defeat Myers Park while playing at home during the regular season, and since they were first in the league. Watchful Eyes.

Weathersl Varsity Boys Basketball 175 Practice, dedication, determination Success ractice, dedication, and determi- nation were characteristic of the girls varsity basketball team. The team's season was one full of hard work, but just not enough to pull through some tough garnesf, said coach Gayle Fox. The girls team practiced each day after school. Their practices were mainly centered around team work and individual strengths. Senior Tuwanda Smith said, Team work is the most important part of the game. In the few games that we won our teamwork was excellent. Senior Shantina Erwin said, Of the games that we won, the victory against Myers Park was our best game. The team had a lot of determination and worked well together to overcome the height advantage that Myers Park had, and to beat them by the score of 39-363' At the beginning of the year the girls participated in a tournament at West Mecklenburg. The girls lost to Myers Park and Garinger. During the regular season, however, they managed to beat Myers Park and Garinger twice. Both teams hustled and fought, however, it was West Charlotte that out-hustled the other teams, said senior Eliza- beth Moss. Key players included senior captain Tuwanda Smith and senior Maria Parker. Smith led the team in scor- ing, rebounding and shot-blocking. Also very instrumental to the team, se- nior Parker, led the team with her overall defensive playing. The two sophomores on the team Tab McCleave and Casey Smith pre- sented definite potential for years to come. Although the lady Lions didn't win many games, we had the possibility of making the conference tournament as the number eight team.

The boys team, coached by Dan Hyder, won 10 of their 20 games during the season. The team consisting of nine sophomores, managed to hold their losing column to a total of one game at mid-season. This one loss was to Independence. Senior Marc Hub- bard said, I think we lost this game because we had a couple of guys out due to injuries and Independence had a good team. Standouts for the team were sopho- mores Steve Wilkes, Eric Broad- way, Jeff Nance and Brian Ellis. These young men kept the team alive with team play and concentration, said Coach Hyder. The girls team played hard for the 7- 20 season. At mid-season they pos- sessed three wins. They beat West Meck, Olympic and Garinger. Sopho- more Dana Jackson said, Our best game was against Olympic. This game went into double overtime, but we fi- nally won by 58 to 56. X The girls team, like the boys, was made up mainly of sophomores, but juniors Lisa Grier, Tonya Primus and Angie Platt were standouts of the team.

Smithj Take down The wrestling team witnessed not only the introduction of many new wrestlers, but also the debut of new head coach Jim Lovett. The fact that most of the wrestlers were as unfamiliar with wrestling as Lovett was with them, led to a setback. As a team that was plagued by inexpe- rience, they had to struggle to gain what limited success they did. To the new wrestlers, the season served as a learning experience, in which they became more familiar with the sport, with their physical capabili- ties and with their new coach. This was as much of a learning experience for Lovett as it was for the wrestlers. For the older, more experienced wres- tlers, the season provided them with the opportunity to serve as leaders and role models. The '84-'85 wrestling season laid a firm foundation for upcoming Lion wrestlers, said junior Craig Davis. The statement by Davis expressed one Forceful personality. Getting the edge on Bri- an Carpenter of Independence, junior Brian Simpson forces him to the mat. iPhoto by N. Smithl of the few bright lights Lovett encoun- tered this year. The team was led by senior captain James Hall. Other wrestlers instru- mental in leading the team were senior Melvin Jones, juniors Brian Simp- son and Todd Banks, and sopho- more Lee Reed. By the end of the season, Reid had become the most im- proved wrestler on the team. It is an- ticipated by both the team and coach that Reed will be beneficial towards the success of next year's team. While Lovett was struggling through his first year as head coach, he was aided by former head coach John Carothers and former West Charlotte wrestler Bernard Lawrence. Although the season did not provide a winning record, the team did win several contests, including a record- breaking victory over Harding. The strongest point of the season, as ex- pressed by Lovett, was indeed the strong foundation that was laid for the seasons yet to come.

Practice for the girls softball team began the first week in February. The team practiced each day after school to prepare for their game day which was Thursday. Senior Elizabeth Moss said, It was sometimes hard to dress for the game because some days it was extremely cold, and some days it was warm. The softball team played some tough games. The toughest game was against West Mecklenburg. They had a lot of strong hitters which made it hardf' said Moss. Standouts on the team were return- ing players, Senior Dawn Hand, An- gela Henderson and Sonya Jack- son, Coach Gary Weart said, Even though the team was a fairly young team, they had a pretty good season. They made it to the final tournament and played a good game only to lose to West Mecklenburg. The girls track team also began practice in February. The girls were coached by Bruce Hardin. Senior Angela McKnight said, Our team was pretty small, but we performed to our best abilities at each meet. Returning standout senior Jackie Faulknercontinuouslybroughtpoints for the team in the triple-jump event. This helped the team to a victory in a Duo-meet against Olympic. The final score was 72 to 34. Coach Hardin was a great influence and his saying Go Get 'em Gang be- fore each meet gave us moral support, said McKnight. Hit and Run!

The boys track re- cord wasn't as successful, but they didn't come in last. The top baseball players included seniors Chris McGuirt, Randy Oxi- dine and Allen Lewis. Coach John Overcash said, The team was prob- ably the fastest of any other team in the history of Charlotte. In responding to his 12-9 record, Overcash said, They'd have been okay if they could have only stolen first base. The conference competition was the toughest in recent history and the boys' speed wasn't enough to keep them Winning through the entire sea- son. Overcash, who didn't despair, didn't 186 Baseball!Track let his team down, either. Because of the competition and key injuries on the team, third place wasn't a bad place to come in, Overcash said. The track teams record was 3-12. Three teams usually participated in the meets, so when West Charlotte didn't win, they could at least come in second. The top runners included Broder- ick Graves, Rodney Richardson, Tyrone Fuller, Duane Montgom- ery and Chuck Hill. They were under the direction of coaches Aldon Cofield and Nate Stratford. Junior Carlos Fletcher said, Track gave the members an opportu- nity to excel individually. Even when the team lost, the runners could get personal satisfaction. Go for it!

At cheerleading camp at Appala- chian State University Aug. 4-5, the cheerleaders won numerous awards, including the Dynamite Stick Award, the Helping Hand Award, three blue ribbons and the first place squad tro- phy. This is the first time that any squad has won three blue ribbons. I feel that the basis for our great success is our great unity. I feel that the other girls are more like sisters than like a squadf' said senior co-head Debbie Garner. The cheerleaders held several fun- draisers to pay for summer camp. Each week this year, they sold spirit ribbons for the football games for 25 cents. I Defeat those Wildcats.

Martini They held a cheerleading clinic for eleven junior high school varsity and junior varsity squads Sept. 29. They raised S275 and also sold bumper stickers and rear-window decals at the Homecoming Carnival. The squadis accomplishments have not been all luck. After only three weeks of summer vacation, they began practice three hours a day, five days a week. Junior Keia Albright said, I think the summer practices were try- ing but at the same time fun. We en- joyed ourselves, and we were able to become closer as friends as well as a squad. During the school year, they only practiced on Wednesday afternoons during football and basketball seasons. After the sports' seasons were over, the girls weren't quite finished. They then prepared for the annual competition at Carowinds in March. As Garner said, It's been a lot of hard work, but we feel it will pay off in the end. Jamin' to the beat!

Martini Cheerleaders 189 Desire, spirit overcome n xperience ong hours and hard work were two things that the inexperienced let- tergirl squad had to cope with during summer practices. The squad consisted of only two re- turning seniors, Sylvia Bellinger and Anne Broadway. Head lettergirl Bellinger said, Since the majority of the squad was new, summer practices were tedious and time consuming, but all the nice comments from students and faculty made it all worthwhile. Lettergirls began practice the sec- ond week in June to prepare for camp in August at Furman University in Greenville, S.C. Junior Kim New- men said, Camp was fun, but it was hot and tiring. We learned a lot of dances and competed a lot. At camp lettergirls learned their trademark for the year, the catwalk. The squad returned home from camp with numerous blue ribbons from indi- vidual competition and the camp's spirit pom for showing spirit through- out the endurance of camp. Along with practicing for camp, the lettergirls also practiced each day of the week after school with the band during football season. They also pre- pared halftime routines for home bas- ketball games. At the Homecoming Parade, the Carrousel Parade, and Da- vidson's Christmas Parade, the letter- girls marched with the band. The squad also sold pom-poms and the traditional maroon and gold gar- ters during the HomecomingCarnival. These fundraisers helped to pay for debts incurred by the squad during the summer. It's been a lot of fun, making up dances, performing, and becoming friends with the girls, said junior Jannine Morrow. Let us entertain you.

Just ask the bowlers, horse- back riders, soccer players and waters- kiiers. A high school athlete's dream ex- panded past the traditional football, basketball and baseball. Bowlers, as well as karate experts and water-skiiers were spotted on campus. Students were out there getting exer- cise whether it was just for fun or for com- petition. Junior Emily Morrison, every morning before school, said, Run- ning before classes clears my mind and gives me a chance to think. Senior Tim Steppe and junior Kar- in Hinshaw attended the Junior Olym- pics for swimming. Hinshaw won the 400 and 200 individual medley, and the 200 backstroke in competition this past summer in High Point. Hinshaw said, Fd like to go as far as I can with my swimming. That includes striving for the 1988 Olympics. Sophomore J .G. Pierce, who has been riding horses for about 10 years, taught classes for others to learn. She said, I enjoy riding so much that it makes it all the more fun to teach oth- ers. Junior Bernard Watson turned to the traditional sport of basketball and played for his church team. Sophomore Bobby Procter turned to the more ec- centric and bowled with a league. Sophomore Joseph Gregory chose Water-skiing as his recreational hobby. Although the months of skiing were limited, it was easier since his family owned a boat. Participating in sports gave students a sense of satisfaction as well as paved the way to a future career. Whatever the case, the athletes enjoyed the results. The Karate kid. With a one, two, senior Jeff Gillan shows his moves. 192 Individual Sports Bring out your best.
