This year at West, we have been hit with sudden impact in almost every area of life. The alarm clock rings fifteen minutes earlier Cdoesn't sound like much, but we all know how important those extra fifteen arelb, and as students walk in the building earlier than in the years past, the changes are seen everywhere - new paintings on the walls, new names on teacher mail- boxes in the office, even a new price for the some old school lunches. West was DOT, however, just getting hit Darcl Mumm, 'BZ proves again that West students are always young at heart . Cstaff photo? N. ,K . is c 'U -it, xt if lx ? q . if mlllmi with all the impact - we were producing a few sudden impacts in the community our- selves. The Band again went for the Gold and came home on top, as well as the Girl's Varsity Softball team. For them, Straight To .State was not only a motto, but a reality. Seniors were hit with the sudden impact of having to make important college decisions as well as the thought of leaving long-time friends to go on to new surroundings. Juniors loved the impact they could place on sophs, and the sophs, themselves, were hit with the impact of a new school, new faces, and tougher courses. Although there were many changes, the Falcons adapted and continued to dom- inate the community, proving again that West ls Best. The sudden impact of the 1986- 87 school year will live on in our thoughts forever. -Becky Manock 5's5ffE5f-tiitlfwdii1522?.- . -, - -W-i-.q,l?iE1:,. .

Monockl n eerie footstep echoes os one wolks clone post the endless rows of lockers toword the finol destinotion. Suddenly, it is opporent to oll, os one enters under the sign ATTENDANCE OFFICE to collect the 15th lote slip so for this yeor, thot the person is in trouble. In some students' opinions, this con be ottributed to the eorlier beginning time of 7:45 set down this yeor. Also, if one were o junior or o senior, the closs schedules chonged to 50 minute periods with 2:85 dismissol times, which reol- ly mode life confusing. Teochers, who hod more hours ond fewer prep periods, hod to get used to the new schedules, too. Also, this yeor wos the lost yeor for mid-term groduotion ond se- nior exempt ofter 5th ond oth periods. Even with these chonges ot West High, everyone seemed to moke the best of it, jumping in both feet first ond turning this yeor into ci yeor of notjust tiny occurences, but one of Sudden lmpoct. -Todd Figonboum 6 OPENING .l Robert Agan, '88, lisrens intently to o teocher's lecture.
