Whether it was with a Joyfriend or girlfriend, or with that friend you have known since elementary school, you will always want to remember the Limes you shared. When asked about those special times, Barbie Green recalled . . . when all of us go out shopping or cruising Stratford. Sometimes we went to the games and showed our school spirit. Many of us spent our spare time with a boyfriend or girlfriend. Going out to eat or iust walking to class together can be con- sidered a special time. Debbie Mock has been dating Jake Salyers, a 1986 West graduate, for almost a year and a half. They spent their spare People time together by going out to eat or going to see a movie. Debbie says, Just about all of my spare time is spent with Jake and I would not want it any other way. No matter how you spend those special times or who you shared them with they will always mean something to you and will stick with you for as long as you can remember. Stephanie Edwards and Dave Vernon have been dating only each other for three and a half years. They have shared so many special times together that we've decided to get married and spend even more of those special times together, said Stephanie. They plan on getting married in the summer of 1987. Whether you have a best friend or that special boyfriend or girlfirend, you will al- ways want to think back on those 'special times shared with special peoplea.

C.O. Matthews WE'RE NUMBER ONE: Rob Mothershed, Eliza- beth Faircloth, Sherrill McSwain, Jodi Cornatzer, Julie Morris, Jenny Hartness and Angela Voss cheer at the pep rally. The spirited Class of '87 was the largest graduating class West Forsyth has ever had. HOME COOKIN': The future Homemakers of America, Tara Hughes and Dana Farmer, put up the banner their club made for the competition. Unfor- tuneatly, their banner was disqualified because they did not follow the conference rule which forbids the use of the opponent's team mascot name. HIGH FLYIN' SPIRIT By Karen Floer t is not uncommon to see students around West Forsyth dressed strange- ly during one certain week of each year. The week of October 20-24, 1986 was Spirit Week. Spirit Week measured the school spirit of all the students. Monday was Club Day. Students partic- ipated by wearing the t-shirts and sweat- shirts they purchased from the different clubs to which they belonged. Tuesday was College Day. As one walked around cam- pus, he saw different shirts and sweatshirts from every school or college imaginable. Wednesday was Beach Day. Students par- ticipated by wearing sunglasses, shorts, t- shirts, and putting sunscreen on their noses. Stacey Jones wore this kind of out- fit, even though the temperature outside was 55 and did not feel like the beach. When asked why she went all-out and dressed up so much she said, It just gives me the feeling that I am at the beach, or getting ready to gof' Green, white, and gold covered the cam- pus on Thursday, as it was School Colors Day. Many students were seen wearing white pants, a green shirt, and yellow ac- cessories. Finally, on Friday, each class was represented by a different color. The senior color was green, the juniors donned yellow, the sophomores wore white, and the freshmen sported gold. At 1:30 p.m. on Friday, October 24, 1986, a pep rally was held. Fifth and sixth periods were shortened, and students went to cheer on their respective graduating class and the varsity football team. The homecoming game was against Davie High School, and West won 24-17. That night at the football game, helium balloons were released as the varsity foot- ball team ran onto the field. The balloons were sold in the concession stand during Spirit Week for 25st each. Sophomores came in first place with the purchase of 5127.75 worth of balloons, juniors came in second, freshmen came in third and the Class of '87 came in last. Spirit Week was a successful event to some extent. When asked what they thought about Spirit Week, Dianne Capps replied, It was an exciting event for those who participated, but not that many peo- ple did. Tamara Glascoe added, I think it would have been more successful if it had been more publicized. I have a couple more years left here at West and I am going to try to improve Spirit Week while I am heref' Even though some students felt that Spirit Week was not as successful as they thought it would be, it was a good idea to boost the way students felt for their school and to see actually how much school spirit each and every student had.
