Back row: Mrs. Candy Wood, Mrs. Jane Goins, Mrs. Mary Margaret Lohr, Mrs. Grace Efrid, Mrs. Nancy Wooten. This board sets policies, determines the school calendar and works with parents to produce a healthy school environ- ment. Two major concerns for high school students were reviewed this year, open campus for juniors and seniors, and exam exemptions. No immediate changes were made but are likely in the future. A MAN IN DEMAND: Winston-Salem Forsyth County Superintendent Dr. Zane E. Eargle was one of the two finalists for the Superintendent's position in the CharlottefMechlenberg School System. Dr. Eargle has worked in the local school system for live years and will continue in his position here. Dr. Relic of the Hartford Connecticutt system was chosen as the next CharlottefMechlenberg superintendent. 74 Administration Snyder Photographic Services LE DER GI E BASIC DIRECTIONS T0 EDUCATIO By Bridget Ruth esides being the mother of two stu- dents at West, Jane Goins has more than a parental concern for our school. Being a member of the Winston- Salem Forsyth County School Board of Education Mrs. Goins fills her days by attending board meetings to decide school policies for the entire school sys- tem, evaluating and recommending pend- ing policies, serving in personnel, receiving calls from concerned teachers and parents, visiting schools, attending school related functions and meeting elected officials. The School Board's duty of setting poli- cies has an immediate effect on student life at school. Students were worried about high schools changing the open campus policy. Mrs. Goins stated, No changes are an- ticipated in the open-lunch schedule until buildings will permit serving on campus. The possibility for a change is a few years awayf' There were also fears of the exam ex- emptions policy changing. Ms. Goins spoke to this concern by saying, some modification is likely, The Boardls main goal for this school year was to place emphasis on improving the quality of our Middle School Program. Although Mrs. Goins performs various activities during a typical day at work, she really enjoys visiting other students and staff members throughout the system and she was very happy to be involved in the process of education. She also felt that Dr. Eargle is a man of intergrity, whom I have come to admire a great deal. Dr. Zane Eargle received the title of Superintendent of Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools in November of 1982. His job requires him to hire staff personnel, read letters, make phone calls, and attencl meetings with agencies who support th school system. Dr. Eargle's major achievement in his five years with the loca schools has been the reorganization of our high schools, making them four year. Dr. Eargle and Mrs. Goins felt they were fortunate to be involved in a school system that was innovative and alway striving for improvement to provide fo sounder educational background for all our students. With the Winston-Salem Forsyth County School System being th fourth largest in North Carolina and on of the hundred largest in the nation Dr. Eargle had a positive outlook for the 1986 87 school year. He said, I look forward t working with our staff, parents, and othe interested people in the community to con- tinue to improve the education our chil- dren receive. We must never forget that it is the student who is the center of our efforts. PEOPLES TO PEOPLE: Phil Truiett, Mrs. Sandy Walls, Mr. Jerry Peoples, and Michael Gray discuss plans for the location of the 1987 Prom. The decision to have the Prom at Holiday Inn in Clemmons wasl made by a vote of the Junior and Senior classes. i

Mrs. Audrey Crater does country painting and wooden items. She has been doing this for about ten years. lt's dif- ferent and relaxing, said Mrs. Crater. Rock collecting, panning gold, and lapidary are hobbies of Mr. John Ashburn. I still collect rocks, but I have given up on lapidary. I pan for gold occasionally.

Not only does Mr. Denny Zeiters coach varsity football and golf, but he also does mod- el railroading. For two years he has been building the rail lines and running the trains,', which also happens to be what he enjoys most about his hob- by. Basket weaving and fabric weaving have taken up much of Mrs. Pat Spainhour's time. She enjoys working with textures and patterns and designing new formsf, if f ' 2, ,ana or .tg .. . 1.
