Collecting new experiences The crowded parking lot, cafeteria, hallways, and classrooms were the common ground for West High student life. En masse we moved, unified by our spirit and pride in being the mighty falcons. Over 2,700 strong, the student body and faculty worked together to effectively set West High School apart from the rest. This year we welcomed a new leader to our school, Dr. David Bess. As our principal, he led in our group effect to achieve excellence in all areas, from academics to athletics. For all of its apparent unity, however, West High School still remained a collection of its many parts. Students found that they each could contribute something unique and personal to the whole through their activities and participation during the year. Even in such a large school, distinction from the crowd was possibleg individuality was encouraged by all. As scientists or musicians, leaders or followers, we emerged and pursued our interests. It was this individuality that made the picture of West High School multi-faceted, but complete. In this manner, the year floated by on a perpetual current of activity. Through these various activities, students learned to work and share with each other, forming a private collection of lasting friendships and memories. i 2 Opening Juniors Trish Graff and Betsy Otis escorted Central 21 Mascots into the pep sud.
