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.
