is -A 0. Alisson Reynolds A SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN: Mac Salley and Alisson Reynolds are on their way to a very elegant dinner at Ryan's. Many students tried to extend the evening as long as possible by going out before and after the prom. Faye Kapp DRIFTIN' INTO THE NIGHT: Kristi Kapp and Sarah Hewitt prepare for the after-prom party at Kristi's house. Guests enjoyed a late night breakfast by the poolside. BEHIND THE SCENE: Bobbette Love and Bobby Paige look like they have just stepped off a cruise ship. Shannon Pugh's backdrop added the final touch to make last vear's prom memorable. 31, l 4 I v, w ,I Ai- 1 f Stephens Photo Driftin' And Dreomin' Through '86 By Merrily Taylor riftin' and Dreamin ' through the night was how most stu- dents described the 1986 Ju- nior-Senior Prom held at Beneath the Elms. The Junior class and its sponsor, Mrs. Sandy Walls, spent hours planning and organizing to make last yearas prom a success. Shannon Pugh painted a very re- alistic ocean scene backdrop, which took her over ten hours to complete. Although last year's prom was well worth it, students found that the expense of the prom keep rising every year. The prices for renting tuxedos ranged any- where from 560.00 to over 5100.00 Prom dresses were also very expensive. Girls could hardly buy one under 520000. Dressing up was not the only expense either. The tickets for the prom were 510.00 a couple. The dinner was also cost- ly, ranging anywhere from 535.00 to close to 5l00.00. Some couples even rented limosines. Most students had their date planned for the prom several months in advance. There were however, still a few who waited until the last minute. Jimmy Duncan was one of the procrastinators. With only three weeks left to decide, Jimmy asked Sherrill McSwain. Sherrill recalled, Although I was rushed to find a dress, the prom was an exciting evening and I had a lot of fun. It made our friendship all the more specialf' Whether they had it planned weeks in advance or waited to the last minute to decide, couples danced into the night at the 1986 Prom. The music was provided by Magic's WMAG disc jockey, Bill Ayers. Students and faculty enjoyed the just right mixture of slow and fast tunes. Mr. Henson looked like someone right off American Bandstand, doing his rendition of the twist. To finish off the evening, couples at- tended various prom parties or went out for a late night snack before going home. Everyone wanted to keep driftin' and dreamin' through the night. Prom 1986 9

Leatha spent three weeks in New York with her aunt and uncle. She visited many famous sights such as Radio City Music Hall, The Apollo Theater, and two famous night clubs, the Paladium and the Area.

They and about ten other Girl Scouts from Troop 437 spend four days gauging the many historical sights of Washington, SUMMER BETTER THAN Sy Terri Hodges t might have been one of the hottest summers in North Carolina's history, but it did not stop West students from raving a good time. As the summer began, nany West students were attending the Bing Crosby Golf Tournament held June 3-8 at Bermuda Run. The temperature registered a blistering iinety degrees outside, but thousands of eople came out to see their favorite stars ompete for charity. Describing the golf tournament, junior, Brandon Lemons said, 'It was very entertaining and humorous because many of the celebrities were asso- ciating with the crowd instead of playing golf. Among the many famous faces at the Crosby were singer Pat Boone, comedian OTHERS Bob Hope, actors Hal Linden from the T.V. series Barney Miller and Pat Peter- son from Knots Landing, Chicago Bulls basketball player, Michael Jordan, UNC head coach, Dean Smithg Governor Jim Martin, and Bing Crosbyis widow, who brought the golf tournament to North Carolina. Kim Kausch, a junior at West, summed it up with a bit of excitement, It really was a great experience. I didn't get to see much golf because I was too busy working at the Crosby. The nice thing about that was getting to socialize with the stars after their game of golf. In addition to attending the Crosby, many students put an end to a great sum- mer by vacationing in hot spots like Myrtle Beach, Washington D.C., Hawaii, and New York City. One such trip involved West Forsyth Girl Scouts in troop number 437. Teresa Shutt, Kelle Owens, Dawn Carter, Carol Samuelson, Sherri Humph- ries, Kathy Morton, Frances Dodson, and others spent four days in Washington D.C. Senator Jesse Helms took the troop on a private tour of the capitol building. As the summer drew to a scorching end, sophomore Keely Norton reflected the thoughts of many West students, CLastj summer was great. I had a lot of fun. The only thing is that it went by too fastf' With the summer of 1987 close at hand, students can now look forward to more time off from school. Some will head back to Myrtle Beach to celebrate another long awaited graduation, while others will head off to a long day at work. The much antici- pated summer will soon be upon us and students can enjoy the best summer yet. Summer 86 1 l
