Now with changing trends—cycles, cars, trucks, and other vari- ous modes of travel have brought into scope a change in the face of West Henderson. Not only are the buses a traffic problem, but the many other vehicles make quite a stir at the beginning and end of each day’s session. In 196Q™the students who drove had their choice of almost any parking spot. Now, even the postman has to fight to get to the mailbox! That’s progress???? ane wt a 3 Ses IO OUR YA aH = i y va ba} vi SSA: Se NEON AN A, a AY Sy Se x a5 SS We SS SAS BER x Wass FANG KR es oa ee ilbecapesaspypiaie LPMMM ML _ De ee er a “Yield thy poor best, and muse not how or why, Lest one day, seeing all about thee spread, A mighty crowd and marvelously fed, Thy heart break out into a bitter cry: T might have furnished, I, yea, even I, The two small fishes and the barley bread.’” Frederick Langbridge Edited By: Kathy Morris 13 ee a Sigel ACTIVITIES Student Government at West West High’s student council has been busy ever since September 3, 1970, when this year’s council first met. The 35 members of the student council | have worked hard to make this school year a little better than last year. Terry Bagwell, leader of the | student’s government, has had a difficult task. While being the president of the council, he also has had to be the president of the student body. With the help and support of the student body officers, homeroom representatives, and student body, Terry has per- formed his task well.

ACTIVITIES Beta inducts seventeen new members The main aim of Beta Club is to recognize those students who have excelled scholastically and who have the qualities of leadership and of good character. This year sixteen juniors and one senior were given invitations to join Beta. Each had at least a 3.2 grade average. This average was computed from their pre- vious grades. As part of the initiation ceremonies, candidates gave a performance in an assembly pro- gram to show their talents. One club project this year was Christmas caroling in Hendersonville. The club also sponsored a tutoring service where any student needing or wanting aid could obtain it during their study hall period.

ACTIVITIES Keyettes mean service The Keyettes of West Henderson have accomplish- ed much since receiving their charter a year and a half ago. Acting as a service club they have visited rest homes, given parties to orphaned children, operated coatchecks for basketball fans, assisted teachers, and many other service acts which have gone a long way in helping others. Turning in all directions, Mrs. Driver tries to organize and assist. The most successful meetings are often informal. Helping others is not only rewarding but most always fun. Key Club attends convention In the second half of each school year, boys interested in becoming KEY CLUB members are asked to fill out applications. Then each prospective member is considered in terms of char- acter and willingness to work. Each candidate must have a grade point average of 2.0 or better. During this year the Key Club played host to a Leadership and a Parent Appreciation banquet. They also sponsored a Career Day and presented an assembly program to the student body. In March they traveled to Columbia, South Carolina to Carolinas’ District Convention where they entered their scrap- book for judging and the orator- ial, talent, and achievement con- tests.

They are also guided in understanding other nations, preparing for a career, and practicing the democratic way of living. All these ideas are learned and practiced in local chapter meetings, in county workshops, in district ral- lies, and in state and national conven- tions. West Henderson’s FHA has ac- complished these goals through the State adopted theme “Tomorrow’s World is Today’s Decisions.” OFFICERS | President...

The club at West meets once a month to discuss not only club business but also various subject matter pertaining to the teaching career. These discussions are sometimes headed by teachers in different areas of study. Practical experience in teaching may be accomplished by a club member in the absence of a regular teacher. The main club project during the year was a Teacher Appreciation Day. On this day teachers were served refreshments. Other projects included an : assembly program for the student body and a club picnic.

The owl is symbolic of wisdom and knowledge, the plow is the symbol of labor and tillage of the soil; the rising sun is emblematic of progress and the new day that will dawn when all farmers are trained and have learned to co- operate; the cross section of an ear of corn represents common agricultural interests since corn is native to Amer- ica; and the eagle is indicative of the national scope of the organization.

Answering the request for financial assistance to pay for the $30,000 surgery, Tri-Hi-Y members col- lected over seven hundred dollars at West and in wishing-well booths set up in Hendersonville. Teachers were next to benefit from the service of Tri-Hi-Y as the girls served refreshments on “Teacher Appreciation Day” and at Christmas. As usual, the girls volunteered their service to the YMCA, their parent organi- zation, where they taught gymnastics and manned the desk. Rounding out the year’s activities were the various assembly programs, meetings at the Y and various social activities.

In the beginning it’s being a freshman and not knowing what is going on. There is nothing but confusion with what seems an infinite number of students and buildings, but somehow everyone manages to live through it. Then comes the sophomore year with familiar faces and an urge to really become involved in West High. It’s cutting up frogs in Mr. Jarvis’ class and world history with Mrs. Stakias. Sooner than you think comes the junior year and you are now an upperclassman. A great feeling prevails as a year of U. S. History, raising money for the Junior-Senior, College Boards, the Jr. Sr. and finally class rings goes by. It is really great but before you know it you are a senior, who is respected by all. It’s a year of doing things for the last time, a year of saying good-bye to the activities and friends that have meant so much. You realize suddenly that it’s over and you are now at the beginning of a new life. Starting at the bottom rung of the ladder, but using all these valuable high school experiences in a successful life. 100 AAG: Rs Donald Clayton Sharon Chandler J. N.

Their play- ing was marked by their determination which they showed during practice and games. One of the highlights of the season was the Homecoming game victory over Erwin by the score of 18-12. Next year’s team should benefit from experi- ence as eighteen players return from a squad of twenty-six. Seniors on this year’s team were; Mike Dunlap, George Connelly, Eury Corn, J.N. Cook, Don Frisbee, Bob Sherrill, Phillip Goodrich, and Jim Mor- gan. Returning are; Tim Templeton, Steve Jones, Barry Cannon, Gene McCarson, Kim Corn, Eugene Cannon, Gary Orr, Richard Wright, Andy Capps, Nicky Posey, Lee Fowler, Danny Garren, Steve Souther, Bobby Smith and Carl Miller. pr Be Ley ye HN AVANT . What Falcon Power Amounts Although the record does not show it, the victories were in the minds and heartsof the boys who played football. They learned to work together as a team, and to respect the opinions of their coaches. But even more a valuable lesson was learned. The Falcons learned to accept defeat and to be gracious in victory. Falcon power is not all victories or defeats, it is the spirit that rewards the Falcons for good sportsmanship and hard work.

Now is the time to build stronger muscles, greater speed, develop new skills, and continue what was begun the year before. Since the preparation for the ’71-’72 football season is left mainly up to the individual, the coaches have provided a weight lifting program for all athletes and boys in- terested in sports for the coming years. Many of our football athletes par- ticipate in other sports to stay in shape. The desire and dedication for a winning team has become a personal part of each athlete’s life and his motto for next year is one that proves this statement: “Winning is not everything... It is the ONLY thing!” Through pride in himself, his school, and in what he does, the 1971-72 football team could have its best year ever. The West Henderson student body is behind them all the way... ‘GOGET’EM, FALCONS!!!” ON. JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL: A TIME TO LISTEN. “You've got to block him more to the outside so the back can get through.” Such was the advice the Jay Vees received from their coaches. Under their guidance, these young men posted a 3-3-1 record, a win- ning season. Members of the team were: Robert Moore, Lee Ruth, Greg Parrish, Larry Williams, Chuck Blackwell, James Lunsford, Lloyd Fowler, Ricky Plemmons, Keith Maxwell, David Lyda, David Con- nelly, Jim Inglett, Pat Smith, Alon- zo Hazel, Starling Underwood, Jer- ty Baker, Jim Pressley, Randolph Fletcher, and Gary Brackett. Why JLV.’s? BECAUSE... ... because these young men need a chance to experience bruised arms and legs, blackened eyes, cracked shins and bloody noses before they play Varsity football. These boys learn how to hit, when to hit, and how to run for a touchdown that will give them a victory. By learning these techniques, next year’s Varsity squad will benefit. These young men also offer competition for the older ones by striving to be good athletes. They experience losing, one of the harshest rules of competitive sports, and winning, the reward for hard work. They learn to aim for higher goals of good sportsmanship and sincere dedi- cation for the coming years. ng ; wi gk ge SS Dentin ee ae ee Trying Times Cheerleading is not making more noise to add to the already present confusion. Cheerleading is trying to lead the fans in an organized effort to boost the team. In return for the en- thusiasm shown by the fans, the ath- letes are willing to give 100 per cent to a victory for West. The cheerleaders have possibly the hardest job in the school, cheering for approximately forty-eight ballgames — ten football, thirty-six basketball, and two Tournament games — plus numerous wrestling matches and pep rallies. Pre-season practices account for many sore muscles, aching bodies, abnormal perspiration, headaches in preparation for the coming season. But this is only part of the many hours put into the perfection of organized cheers and appropriate chants and songs that the fans will respond to. a vit The Sp s squad has worked hard, b) is year Th long hours to create an atmosphere of a a Ee = re) ce oe Oy 4 Da To ss att —_ oe ® Qu n = or} Sos [co BS ay a a o 3 3 sms ew oOo SF o =) Al ao «4 ‘5, © © Soa 8 CE Sorel, See Ma¢ So fo te is Be BP S o S ie) a os O a ie Dunlap Debb Barbara Fulle mson il Hutch Ramona Jaynes Ga Riddle Smith, Deanna In Capta Co- Debbie RE Junior Varsity cheerleaders have a pretty tough time learning the routine of a cheerleader. But they support the J.V. sportsters all the way, sharing the joy of winning and the pain of losing. This past summer they attended A.C.A. camp in Brevard along with the Varsity cheerleaders.

The truly dedicated golfer does not let any kind of weather stand between him and the golf course. However, the spring and summer sea- sons are the most favorable for golfing. West High’s newly organized golfing team put its best foot forward in every match and never finished less than third place. There are only six mem- bers of this team, but they hope that more students will become interested in this sport. Members: David Long Ronnie Tilly Grady Moffit Mike Fletcher David Sanders Tim Morgan Drill Team... A Time To Dance”’ A whistle blows... the music begins to play and the 1970-71 Drill Team enters the gym with a show that people of all ages enjoy. The beautiful choreography that these girls produce is a fine example of the time taken to make West Hender- son proud of them. These girls deserve a great deal of appreciation for making West High’s drill team the best in Western North Carolina and the only successful one in Henderson County. “Would you like to buy a ribbon?” This is a question that all of us have heard at one time or another this year. Selling booster ribbons was one of the projects which these girls took on to raise money, and these ribbons served their purpose too. It showed that the drill team backed the Falcons all the way by inspiring the students to support them. DPD eipeasemmemcnnaes OKA AEA Ny AONE Practice Makes Perfect! The success of our drill team has been attributed to the hard practice and team- work put into their routines.

In past years this group of ath- letes has not been given the recognition they de- serve for keeping shoot- ing charts, scorebooks, cleaning the locker rooms and field house, washing and drying tow- els and uniforms, and keeping the teams sup- plied with water and first aid during games. They share the teams’ joys and sorrows because they are a part o f these teams, and they deserve a pat on the back! AS ecraicrcnern West High’s Own Muscle Men It has been a few years since West High has been No. | in any sport and our own ’70 — ’71 wrestling team has given us a position to be proud of — first in the Parkway Conference and third in Western North Carolina. This year’s team does not believe in luck — to them preparation is the key to their great success. These fellows have certainly dedicated themselves and their time to the team, some of them starving them- selves to keep their weight within the class they wrestle. This is only one of the significant incidents that shows the great will power that these guys have to be No. 1! So, in the coming year let’s get behind these grap- plers and keep them on the top! Sa Blood, weat, Tears... Blood, sweat, and tears is what the W.H.S. wrestlers put into their practices and matches this year. Hard work and determination paid off as our grapplers posted a fine 9-1 rec- ord. Under the guidance of Coach Denny Hicks, they took the Sylva- Webster Christmas Tournament help- ing to establish their reputation as rough, tough men. Members of this team are: Captains: Kim Corn Paul Beebe Ricky Owens Freddy Roberts Todd Ray Don Gash Robert Becker Eury Corn Gene McCarson Mike Heilbronn, Barry Cannon James Lunsford Robert Crook Eugene Cannon Lloyd Coren Ricky Plemmons Lee Fowler Alan McCrary Mickey Marvin J.

Each individual’s effort contributes to the overall standing of the team. The members of the ’70 track team put all their efforts together and positioned West High’s ranking to third in the conference and eighth in the state. Robin Drake, a ’70 graduate of West, placed first in the State discus throw. Our mile-relay team com- posed of David Parris, Gary Orr, Johnny Holloman and Mike Sizemore finished sixth out of approxi- mately thirty schools. The ’71 track team has already started to prepare for the coming season. These fellows have been prac- ticing in the cold weather since Christmas, building up speed and better timing records. They are working toward the goal of becoming No. | in the conference. So you can see, we have a lot to be proud of! Ait ov Miss? Hit or miss is an unwritten rule of base- ball... scoring runs and winning over the op- ponent is the object of baseball. But the biggest part of baseball is not seen by the spectators. Hour upon hour of batting practice, pitching, running and catching is what makes a good team. A great deal of gratitude should be given to these boys for showing the West High spirit!

Like hoping your favorite baseball team will win the penant this year, as you watch them on the TV screen. REAL COMPETITION is more participative ... more active; and, we believe, is a part of every thing we do, every day. It’s the basis for our finding a better way to get the job done. THAT CONCEPT OF COMPETITION, we suggest, is truly the name of one of life’s ongoing games. It is part of your earning and winning a good education... of your getting accepted by a good college ... of your obtaining a good job . . . or even of your winning a mate with whom to share life. NORMALLY, we think of competition in sports. But it’s much more. It’s a total philosophy of life. Let’s combine the two concepts in these words of the late Coach Vince Lombardi— and they don’t come more competitive than Lombardi. He puts it this way: “You can’t win by running the same old play in the same old way. You need new variations and performance and you've got to run them better.”’ WE AT GE’S LIGHTING SYSTEMS DEPARTMENT wish you “good performance” in the competition you face during the years ahead. And we invite you to compete for one of the good jobs with us, here in Hendersonville.

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
