KICKING IN THEIR TIME AND EFFORT: These seven girls are a special part of the Titanide history. They were the first sophomore Titanides. Their talent was displayed on the team for three consecutive years. They are: Lori Hutchins, Erica Riefenburg, Jodi Poteat, Debbie Weatherman, Lisa Wooton, An- gela Wagoner, and Devan Walsh. NOTHING BEATS A GREAT PAIR OF LEGS: Shannon Pugh said, The best part of being a chore- ographer is the feeling of self-satisfaction when you see 49 other girls perform a routine that you have had part in creating. To perfect these routines the Titan- ides put in many long hours of practice. s i s.

During the 1986-'87 school year, 49 girls practiced four days a week, for an hour-and-a-half each day, in order to con- tinue the Titanide tradition. Three years ago, in May of 1984, when Titanides were chosen, seven of the girls selected were the first sophomore Titan- ides in over ten years. These special girls are graduating seniors with the class of 1987. They are: Lori Hutchins, Jodi Po- teat, Erica Riefenburg, Angela Wagoner, Devan Walsh, Debbie Weatherman, and Lisa Wooton. As sophomores we were more nervous about fitting in with the rest of the group because there were only seven of us, re- called Lisa Wooton as she reminisced on her first year. This was not the only new experience for these girls. They also had the anticipation of their first year at camp. Once again during July 6-9, 1986, the Titanides stayed on campus at Peach Col- lege for four long days of competition. Camp meant many things to the 1986-'87 Titanides. 'gCamp has a way of bringing a large group closer together, said Jennifer Wolfe. The Titanides returned to West with a home routine trophy, a spirit stick, and two Super Star nominees A Shannon Pugh and Devan Walsh. To Devan this was the biggest, happi- est surprise of my life! Both of these girls attended the Honolu- lu Bowl in Hawaii during their Christmas vacation. Needless to say, the 1986-'87 school year has been an exceptional one for the Titanides, especially for the lucky seven. With the help of Miss Mary Currin and choreographers, Shannon Pugh and Amy Phillips, the season held many fond memo- ries for the West Forsyth Titanides.

As Mr. Long stated, The unique thing about ski club is that anyone can join, which meant that all levels of skiers were welcomed. He also stated, 50'Z1 of the skiers were beginners and 50'Zn were 'experienced' with varying degrees of experience. On the first big '87 ski adventure, 193 By Shannon Smith l68fSk1 Club . ..

Finally it was arranged that they soon would be going to Sugar. On their next trip club members hit the slopes at Winterplace, which is located in skiers got a special rate which included skis, boots, and poles for the price of 58.30.
