A Year The 1976 through 1977 school year was a memorable one. It was the year of a presidential election and the end of our nation’s Bicentennial. We had an inhumanly cold winter and a fuel shortage at the same time. This meant lowered temperatures inside making it almost as bad as outside. For seniors the year meant filling out forms and watching your money disappear. Construction finally began on the new gym, and we were no longer allowed to roam the halls during classes. It was really a year to remember. Steve's sign reflects the views of many West students. Many people gathered in room 300 to watch the inauguration. 28
