H. Sanders. His fairness and good iudgment have won for him the respect and admira- tion of all his studentsg his outstanding ability to teach has made learning a pleasure. His sense of humor and his spontaneous wit will not soon be forgotten by those who have had the privilege of being in his class, and we will always be grateful to him for the personal interest which he has given to each of us. 00000000 i Many things are included in School Life at West, The big and the little, the worst and the best. It's scholastic, it's social, athletic, you say, So without further delay, let's be on our way. ln the lab we take our turn, Chemistry and physics learn, We'll soon produce with great aplomb The answer to the Russian bomb. x . , It must be fun--just see them smile! We'd like to try it for awhile. In art these two now do their stint At turning out a silk screen print.

We forget that our teachers, except for our parents, are the most responsible for our development and growth. For this reason, the WESTERNER staff felt a responsibility to reaffirm our gratitude to our teachers for the guidance and leadership which they have afforded us and to recognize our faculty as sincere persons who have dedicated their lives to our welfare. These accompanying pictures are meant to be a reminder to all students that every member of our faculty is an individual who has respon- sibilities, not only to us, their students, but also to their families and friends outside school. To our teachers, who have helped us develop our mental abilities, instilled in us ideals and aims for life, and set for us examples of service and character, we express our sincere ap- preciation. :I --I 4-1. .. .. - --.- .. , Mr. Thomas N.

Improving our school's public relations is another of Mr. Love's duties. MR. LOVE Mr. Love, the principal of West since it was established in 1951, has been far more to the student body than a disciplinarian. His high standards have been a guid- ing influence to the students, and his sympathetic understanding of their viewpoints and problems has made him much respected. His patience and tirelessinterest in school activities have kept the many components of West High working together in an efficient manner. Developing fuller and more satisfactory curricula, changing schedules to meet the needs of students, being sure that the business ofthe school is properly transacted, and attending all school functions are but a few of Mr. Love's many duties. ns MRS. WRAY Mrs. Wray, our secretary at West, is a tireless worker, keep- ing an efficient office for all of us. Everyone at school knovvs Mrs. Wray, and in turn she knows the name of every student almost as soon as he or she arrives. Her friendly smile and sparkling eyes, along with her sense of humor have made her very popu- lar with students and teachers alike. She is never too busy to listen to a problem, and with her qualities of understanding and patience, Mrs. Wray has become the guide and counselor of many students. Her unselfish service and cheerful disposition have been an inspiration to all of us. Pencil in mouth, Mrs. Wray digs in Mrs Wrays green plans make the office a cheerful place -Q,-Q Mrs. L. A.

WESTERNER CO-EDITORS-Mary Jane Cooley and Jennings Bird. The Westerner Staff of l955-i956 has worked earnestly as a group to produce this annual. An effort has been made to portray graphically every phase of the school life of both students and teachers. During the summer of l955 the annual staff was busy discussing ideas and making plans. When school started, the staff was eager to start to work. Most of the art work was done during the early months of school, but the real rush came during January and February. These two months saw the taking of almost all the group pictures and the exacting iob of writing copy and proofreading the finished product. The annual staff was fortunate in having excellent art edi- tors who together originated the drawings for this book. .Mr. Montgomery, the faculty adviser, has been most helpful to the staff with his excellent advice and kind encouragement. Mr. Lawrence Fielden, the annual publisher and photographer, became an adviser as well. He was never too busy to give generously of his time and effort. The staff is grateful for having had the oppor- tunity to work under the guidance of these two men. uw ,,.. 2:ii,1:fi. ' , SPONSOR-Mr. C, S. Montgomery. BUSINESS MANAGER-Janice Dorsey.

The WEST WIND, West High's bi-weekly newspaper, is published entirely by the students. Mrs. Hina, staff adviser, gives a helping hand to the editors and writers whenever it is needed. Staff members do work in all phases of news- paper work, including writing, proofreading, editing, and page make-up. The costs of publishing the paper are met by selling subscriptions and advertising space. This year about eight out of ten West students subscribed to the WEST WIND. The paper is iudged along with other high school papers by the National Scholastic Press Association and the Tennessee High School Press Association. lt is required that students who work on the WEST WIND staff take iournalism, a halt-year course. Staff members are chosen from the journalism classes at the end of the semester by Mrs. Hina, the editor-in-chief, and the head of the department in which the respective staff member wishes to work.

Its members are the rep- resentatives elected by each home group in the school. Thus, the S.R.A. is a very important organization, since it is through it that all the Nxt students have a voice in the functions of the school. The patient and unselfish work of the spon- sor, Miss Evans, has helped the school in in- numerable ways. Because of her leadership and the enthusiastic interest of the members and alternates, the S.R.A. has sponsored a great number of successful proiects this year. At Christmas the S.R.A. sponsored a basket- ball game between the boys' varsity and a girls' team chosen by Mrs. Line. The proceeds from this game were used to buy candy, fruit, and small toys for a local orphanage. In this way the whole school had a part in making Christmas happy for a group of underprivileged children. The S.R.A.-sponsored mixers and sock hops were more successful this year than ever before in the history of West High. Much of the credit for this success goes to the careful planning and co-operation of the S.R.A. mem- bers. The election of football Homecoming Queen was sponsored by the S.R.A. again this year. The queen was crowned at a mixer, and West's Most Eligible Bachelor was the high- light of another S.R.A. dance.

Only fifteen percent of the seniors may be members. A third of these students are admitted to the Honor Society in the spring of their junior year, the rest are inducted during the fall or winter of their senior year. Aided by the advice of Mr. Derthick, the faculty advisor, the Honor Society has accom- plished much this year. It got off to a good start with its ,first project of the year-a mixer in the gymnasium after the East-West football game. In January the Honor Society adopted a new student proiect. Under this proiect, members of the Honor Society became acquainted with students who transferred to West during the year, and they informed these new students about the school's activities. A ,, .,,... .-.....,, , The Quill and Scroll Society was established as a goal for the members of lal high school publication staffs. lt is a national organization which was begun in l926 by a group of high school advisers for' the purpose of encourag- ing and rewarding individual achievement in iournalism. This society has played an impor- tant part in raising the standards in its field and in directing the course of high school journal- ism. Before a prospect can be considered for membership in the Quill and Scroll, he must meet several requirements: l. He must be at least a iunior in high school. 2. He must be in the upper third of his class scholastically. 3. He must have done superior work in some phase of journalistic or creative endeavor. When these qualifications are accumulated, they are studied by an advisory committee com- posed of the officers and adviser of the society.

Its membership is made up of boys from the senior, iunior, and sophomore classes who are chosen for their leadership abili- ties, scholarship, and sportsmanship. The purpose of the Key Club is to be of service to the school and the community, and at the same time to develop in its members the qualities of initiative and citizenship. The Kiwanis International Organization sets certain proiects which must be completed each year by the Key Club in order to keep their charter. One ot the most important of these projects is Career Day, which is held annually by the Key Club. On this day men from nearly every type of voca- tion come to the school and talk to the students about their vocations. This program is a great help to students who are deciding on their life's work. Besides organizing the Career Day, the Key Club has many other activities. Among these are chapel programs, sale of football pro- grams, care of school shrubbery, sale of conces- sions at basketball games, Parents' Banquet, Teachers' Banquet, sale of Rebel decals, and many other money-making and service projects. A special project for this year was raising money to buy new uniforms for the cheerleaders.

These four are part of the school's music council. Their principal duty is to arrange and take responsibility for all band proiects. The West High Band of T955-1956 had not only an increased membership over previous years, but also had one of its most successful years. A colorful addition was an honor guard consisting of two rifle carriers and two banner carriers, the latter bearing the American Flag and a beautiful new school banner made by Mrs. E. W. McCall. Five members of the band had the honor of playing in the Blue and Red Bands at the East Tennessee Band Clinic held at Alcoa. Four fresh- man members of the band performed in the Junior High Band at Harriman. Under the able direction of Mr. L. W. Shelton, the band went to Maryville to compete in the East Tennessee High School Band and Choir Festival where judg- ing was done on showmanship and musicianship. The band played in chapel several times and it performed in a winter concert. As a part of the Music Council formed this year, the band contributed greatly to the success of the Council's first semi-formal dance. lt also participated in the musical which was planned and executed by the Music Council and the Thespian Society. The band took part in four parades: Band Day, Armed Forces Day, Santa Claus, and Red Feather Day. The band members wish to express their sincere appreciation to the Band Booster's Club who made a large part of this success possible through their help and co-operation. MAJORETTES The maiorettes are picked late in the spring after tryouts before a committee of teachers. The drum rnaior and band sponsor are elected by the band members. They all march in the parades and performances in which the band. takes part. In addition to marching with the band, the maiorettes work with the Band Booster Club in raising funds for the band. This year they sold Christmas wrapping paper and had several pastry sales. ,Af- t l ff! 1 'JJ S-v...f LJ BAND SPONSOR-Mary Jane Cooley, and DRUM MAJOR, Joe King.

They are concerned not only with the language itself but also with the literature and culture of France and other Euro- pean countries. This year the clubs were visited by several guest speakers who were natives ot foreign countries. These guests made the lan- guage study much more interesting and pic- turesque. One of the first speakers was Jean- Pierre Tison, a University of Tennessee student from Paris, France. Another speaker was an exchange student from England, Anne Tennant. The French Clubs also enioyed movies about the European way of life, which helped the language students to understand many foreign customs. Other activities of the club members included making tape recordings of students teaching French and giving skits in class. The clubs also furnished ushers for school programs, concerts, a A skit by class members enlivens a first year French class. nd plays.

SPANISH GLIIB Cuban and Latin-American music and dancing lessons, entertaining skits, map-drawing, and strictly Spanish conversations are only a few of the interesting features of a Spanish Club meet- ing. Some other programs which the members enjoyed at their meeting this year were talks by visitors, reports by students Coften those who were caught chewing gum in a Spanish classl, and even discussions on the methods for prepar- ing hot Mexican and Spanish foods. When- ever time and circumstances permit, Mrs. Payne, the faculty advisor, or club members themselves obtain special movies portraying the lives of Spanish-speaking people in their homes and in social, economic, and religious aspects. Robert Garcia, a club member who trans- ferred to West High from Cuba, has done much to create interest in the life, problems, and cus- toms of the Spanish-speaking countries of today. He has been a constant source of first-hand information and interesting detail. The Spanish clubs are made up of all the students who are taking first or second year Spanish. The activities of these clubs are varied and include, besides club meetings, giving chapel programs, ushering for school plays, concerts, and P.-T.A. meetings, and selling tickets for such functions. ln addition to these activities, some of the club members carry on correspondence with Mexicans, Spaniards, and South Americans.

The purpose of bowling clubs in the high schools is to promote interest in bowling and to introduce it to more of the young people of Knoxville. Many members of the club had never been bowling until the Bowling Club was organized. The club was es- tablished primarily to provide group recreation and competition among members rather than to compete with bowlers from other schools. The club is divided into a boys' team and a girls' team. The boys elected as their co- captains Alan French and Sonny Dooley, the girls elected Bonita Roy and Sue Fleenor as their co- captains. The boys' team competed in two events with the Maryville High School Bowling Team. The Rebel bowlers won the first meet but lost the second. Although the girls' team did not participate in any meets, it had a very good team average. . -'J LJ BOWLlllG GLIIB X Captain: Alan French, President, Bonita Roy N RED CROSS CLUB-Sitting: Mrs. Jones, advisory Charles Cagle, supervisor, Tommy Ke-eling, vice chair- man, J, H.

LIBRARY ASSISTMITS Stamp it and check the date, it may be overdue. Mending and processing new books, shelving books, checking them in and out, helping other students to find reading and resource materials, and taking inventory at the end of each year are all duties which are performed by library assistants. There is at least one assistant in the library each period of the day to help the libra- rian. The qualifications needed for this work are originality, love of books, intelligence, and possibly artistic ability. Anyone who is inter- ested in this work and is able to give up some of his study time may become a library assistant by asking the librarian in charge. Both boys and girls serve in this capacity. By working with books, the asistants gain valuable knowledge in reference work and come to know where they can find information on any subject. One of the highlights of the assistants' iob is the Library Asistants' Convention, which is held annually at one of the high schools in East Tennessee. At these conventions, students study such subiects as repairing books, carding and cataloguing them, circulation of books, and deco- rating bulletin boards. There they also hold general meetings and elect their officers. A book review and entertainment are usually presented by the host school.

Clowers, and Bobby Beeler were chosen at the beginning of the year as cafeteria assistants. Floyd, Randall, and Tim work The first lunch hour during their lunch and home group period. W. T. and Bobby work during the second lunch hour. These assistants are re- sponsible for keeping clean trays, silverware, and glasses available at all times, and they also help in keeping them clean. Working up and down the food line is still another responsibility for The boys. Here They must be sure that each row of separate foods is kept filled, they must keep enough milk on ice to furnish the oncoming crowd of hungry students, and they must ses that fresh bread and butter is ready to be con- sumed. Although cafeteria assistants are kept very busy during the rush hours, they are well rewarded for their efforts. What could be better than to have all you could eat free of charge? Cafeteria assistants, sometimes called lunchroom assistants, not only learn that courtesy pays, but they also learn to work and cooperate with people of various ages. Thus the boys working in the lunchroom are learning something of value. X . I Everything in place, boys, before the mad rush. U gb 1, . cf' Mr R E C Love second vice president., Mrs. S. R.

The Rebel gridmen ended the season with a record of two wins, six losses, and one tie. Rebel accomplishments were victories over Rule and South, with a hard-fought tie to East. Several outstanding individuals came out of the team. Bob Overholt and Tommy Anderson were se- lected on the All-City team. Fred Cash and Larry Houghton made second team, with Buddy Ad- dicks being selected on the third string All-City team. Ronald McMahan and Stewart Baggett received honorable mention. Bill Wright, assistant coach, Bob Overholt, captain, Norman Meseroll, head coach, Tommy Anderson, co-captain, Walt Ganz, backfield coach. 1 WEST 'I3 -- RULE 6 The mighty West High Rebels started their season with a smashing triumph over the Rule High Golden Bears, 13-6. A huge crowd watched the Rebels defend their Knox Prep League Champs title. Coach Norman Meseroll's Rebels displayed a dazzling offense behind the masterminding of quarterback Bobby Overholt and the spectacular running of Freddy Cash, and a stonewall defense led by Tom The Bomb Anderson and Larry Houghton. Early in the first quarter, explosive Freddy Cash ripped off right tackle for 49 yards and the first Rebel touchdown of the season. Cash showed brilliance in this run, but he was helped considerably by terrific down-field blocking. The other TD came in the first period also with Tiger Towle and Overholt inflicting most of the damage. Overholt, from his own T5-yard line, started off left tackle on the keeper play and finally scored after stumbling the last five yards. Tiger Towle split the goalposts for the point after touchdown. At this point it seemed as if the Rule team should close up shop and leave, before the Rebels pushed them off the field. The Golden Bears met the challenge and stopped the Rebels the rest of the way, but the damage had already been done. WEST I4 -- SOUTH 12 West showed their first victory was no fluke by pounding out a 14-12 victroy over a tough South High Rocket team. The victory extended West's Knox Prep Football League win streak to lO straight. The Rebels seriously thought of taking out insurance on the toe of Charlie Towle, who kicked the two extra points which provided the margin of victory. West followed the same pattern of winning as they did against Rule, scoring two early touchdowns and coasting the rest of the way. West's first TD came from the alertness of Stewart Baggett, who pounced on a South fumble on the South 26-yard line. Quarterback Bobby Overholt pitched a l3-yard pass to glue-fingered Jim McCulley, who showed finesse both on of- fense and defense. Elusive Freddy Cash stepped off the remaining yardage needed for the TD on the next play. Towle then stepped back and split the uprights with the first of his extra points. Early in the third quarter West struck for another touchdown. With South looking for a running play, Overholt faded back for a pass. Seemingly trapped for a loss, Overholt spotted speedy Buddy Addicks and hit him with a strike on the 24-yarcl line. Addicks gathered in the pass, spun out of the grasp of two tacklers and sped the rest of the way for the TD. The pass play covered 49 yards. Again Charlie Towle calmly split the uprights for the extra point. WEST I3 -- YOUNG 'I8 West suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of hard-hitting Young High School. The Rebels showed a never-say-die spirit before being worn down by their rugged opponents. Although losing, the Rebels showed off some unexpected talent in their rugged, hard-charging fullback, Raymond Lloyd. Lloyd scored both of the Rebels' touchdowns, and was also West's leading ground-gainer. Young struck for the first TD, but on the following kickoff the Rebels started demonstrat- ing their offensive ability with Lloyd and Charlie Towle leading the way. From the 49-yard line, Lloyd squirrned past several would-be tacklers, kept churning, and scampered all the way for the touchdown. The try for the extra point failed and the score was tied up. The Young Yellowiackets assumed the lead again in the third period with repeated iaunts off the right side of the line. The Yellowiackets scored twice before the Rebel defense adjusted, and Young went into the lead, l8-6. West would never concede a loss and kept the crowd on its feet until the waning minutes of the game. Late in the fourth quarter, the Rebels started a drive on their own 30-yard line. Bobby Over- holt ripped off a nifty 39-yard run followed by a lO-yard iaunt with little Freddy Cash carrying the mail. Towle then tore to the ll-yard line. Seemingly halted, Overholt faded back on fourth down and hit Rebel fullback Lloyd, in the end zone with a pass for the latter's second six- pointer of the evening. Charlie Towle's depend- able right foot booted the ball through the up- rights for the extra point. 'T WEST 0 -- CENTRAL 6 Battling the league-leading Central Bobcats to a standstill most of the game, West lost a savagely-fought game due to a blocked kick late in the third quarter. The Rebels showed no mercy to the league-leaders before the unfortu- nate blocked kick, and held the Bobcats to minus yardage excepting one 55-yard reverse play. The rugged West defense sparkled from one side of the line to the other, and several crushing tackles were made by the Rebel secondary. Due to a muddy field, the Rebel offense never seemed to get rolling enough to dent the Bobcat goal-line. Most of the offenseless game was played in the center of the gridiron, although late in the game, the Rebels had Central holding their breath. Overholt faded back to pass and finding no receivers, noticed a hole in the line and scampered through for 15 yards. On the next play Overholt made a repeat performance- this time for 20 yards. Mike Prince, Ralph Smith, and Charlie Towle then carried the ball clown to the Bobcat 30-yard line. An intercepted Over- holt pass then halted the Rebel drive and the game soon ended. WEST 0 -- EAST 0 Coach Norman Meseroll watched his fighting Rebels battle to a 0-0 tie in a rain-drenched field. Only a few die-hard fans were on hand to watch the Rebels slip and slide on offense but hold East to nothing also on offense. Quar- terbacks on both teams elected to play conserva- tive football, hoping for a fatal mistake by the opposing team. As the score indicated, the mistake of any significance never came. West outplayed the Mountaineers, especially in the second half. During this period the Rebels gained 130 yards on ground while holding their opponents to a mere 33 yards. West penetrated deep into East territory twice but never could find a big enough weakness in the East defense to score. The biggest scoring threat came early in the fourth period. Overholt hit versatile Fred Cash with a pass for 15 yards to the visitors' 25-yard line. Cash, Lloyd, and Towle then carried the ball to the 10. The Rebels managed to push the ball down to the 5-yard line, but there the East line stopped the Rebels and took the ball over on downs. WEST 0 -- OAK RIDGE 60 West High suffered a 60-O defeat the the hands of The state champions, Oak Ridge Wild- cats, on The victors' field. All sixty of the Wild- cats' points came after the courageous Rebels had held their powerful opponents to a complete standstill during the first period. In The next Three periods fumbles and other costly errors proved To be The downfall of The Rebel gridmen. After a scoreless first period, The Wildcats suddenly found The range and scored Three times in four minutes, Two of The touchdowns coming on recovered fumbles deep in The West High Territory. Two more touchdowns were also pounded out against the Rebels in This period, and The Wildcats walked off 'the field with a 33-O half-time advantage. In The last half The Rebels continued to make costly errors, with the Wildcats dominating the play. The finale was a sixty-yard reverse by a Wildcat which boosted the score to 60-O. Sub- stitutes on both Teams played in The final few minutes. WEST 2 -- FULTON 'I2 The Rebels suffered their fourth loss of The season at the hands of Fulton High's Falcons. A win by The Rebels in this game would have cinched their bid for The city championship. New starters in the Rebel backfield, Mickey Snyder and Ralph Smith, both turned in outstarid- ing performances in their debut, Booming punts by Snyder were highlights of The game, and Smith turned in several nifty gains on screen passes. The Rebels' only Two points came after the gridmen had pushed the Falcons deep back into their own territory. A high pass from the Falcon center let the ball sail out of the end zone for a safety. The Fulton touchdowns came on a T5-yard pass and a T2-yard run. Snyder, Smith, and Cash carried most of The offensive load for the Rebels, while defensive standouts were Jim McCulley, Buddy Addicks, Johnny Simmons and Max Meredith. ' 1. s.

The game was WesT's besT offensive show of The season, AfTer allowing The Green Devils Three early Touchdowns, The Rebels foughT Toe-To-Toe wiTh The larger Greeneville Team and maTched poinTs wiTh Them. Mickey Snyder, WesT quarTerback, showed he was an excellenT passer, having Two TD passes. On The receiving end of The passes were rangy Jim McCulley and speedy Mike Prince. WesT High found a running sTandouT in hard-charging Ronnie Ramby, Rebel fullback. Hamby ground ouT several long gains Through The middle of The Greeneville line and scored one Touchdown on a fullback draw play, WesT had many sTalwarT performers. On of- fense Hamby, Snyder, Towle, and James WhiTe were consisTenTly making sizeable gains. On de- fense, end Johnny Simmons, playing in The place of iniured Buddy Addicks, was conTinually in on Tackles, along wiTh Bryan Tesferman and The enTire Rebel line. Winding up The season, WesT played a hard- foughf game with Bearden, buT losT by a close 7-6 decision. The game was almosT offensive- less, due To a weT field. BoTh Teams held back Their scoring punch unTil The lasT Two minuTes of The game, Bearden sTruck firsT wiTh Two minuTes remaining in The game, and The specTaTors were almosT ready To concede a Bearden vicTory. BuT Then WesT re- vealed Their secreT weapon. AfTer Taking The kickoff, Cash wenT wide To The lefT as a flanker.

The Rebels were led by co-captains Bobby Overholt and Butch Lowery in the scor- ing department. Lowery was either hitting his iump-shot or he was driving in for constant lay- ups, he was also dead from a set shot position. Overholt was steady under the bucket and got many ot his points on rebounds. Overholt also posseses a deadly hook shot which he shot with either hand. Lowery and Overholt were by no means the whole team. Randy Ayres was a fine rebound- ing torward and constantly scored in the double figures. Filling out the first team were Jack Overton and Sammy Lyle. Overton was a real hustler and scored due to his own hard work. Jim Jollay, David Brown, Don Nichols, and David Bailey Lyle, who did not start until the season was halt over, proved very valuable to The Rebels. Sammy had a fine eye from the Corner and proved him- self worthy under the backboards. A strong Rebel bench proved to be the margin of many Rebel victories. The Rebel re- serves were J. T. Alexander, Troy Taylor, Buddy Addicks, Tommy Anderson, Porky Calloway, and Kenneth Gault. Alexander, Taylor, Addicks, and Anderson started many of the early season games and did splendid jobs. The Rebels started the season with two heart- breaking losses-one to Catholic and one to Karns. The Rebels then pulled themselves to- gether and won the next six games. The six teams beaten by our hardwoodmen were Young, Bearden, South, Rule, fatholic, and Rush Strong, .var respecTively. The sweeTesT of These victories was The revenge of The firsT CaTholic loss. Also olur- ing The winning sTreak Three league vicTories were obTained. ATTer losing To Karns Tor The second Time, The Rebels wenT on anofher winning spree. This spree was Tor Tour games-all league games. These Tour hard-ToughT games were againsT Bearden, SouTh, CenTral, and EasT. ln The Bearden game Lowery seT an individual WesT High scoring record OT 33 poinTs. The record was previously held by Dewey Thomas. The Rebels were now on Top of The league wiTh a record oT 7 wins and no cleTeaTs. ln The nexT Tour game, The Rebels were de- TeaTed Twice by high-scoring FulTon High, buT The WrighTmen Turned back CenTral and also beaT Powell, The Class A league leaders. The Rebels were greaTly disappoinTed in The Two losses To FulTon, buT Falcons seemed To caTch The Rebels on cold nighTs, and WesT seemed powerless. The Rebels now had a 8-2 record in The league and were Tied wiTh boTh Fulton and EasT. Powell was The nexT WesT foe, and The PanThers goT revenge for The early season loss handed Them by The Rebels. In The Powell game OverholT Tied The individual scoring record seT earlier in The season by Lowery. OverholT poured in 33 poinTs oluring The game. The remaining six games were all won by The Rebels. Of The six wins, Tive were impor- TanT league games. The remaining was a non- league game againsT Alcoa. The mosT impor- TanT was The vicTory over EasT which clinched The Class AA League championship. In The CarTer game, which was The lasT game of The regular season, eighT seniors played in Their lasT baskeTball game for WesT High on The Rebel floor. The eighT seniors were BuTch Lowery, Bob Overholf, Randy Ayres, Jack OverTon, Tommy Anderson, Troy Taylor, Buddy Addicks, and J. T. Alexander. AnoTher record was seT by a Rebel during The season.

The Rebels were recognized by many track au- thorities as the strongesttrack team in the Knox County area. Many observers considered the Rebels as one of the strongest teams in East Tennessee. The Rebels proved their strength by finishing fifth in the State track meet. West had many outstanding performers both in the running events and in the field events. The runners, coached by Walter Ganz, were led by their hurdlers, Charlie Scott and Dick Laurence. Laurence started the season as a half-miler, but tried the hurdles and was so successful that he stuck to them and finished second in the state. Other outstanding hurdlers who were constantly getting points were speedy Don Preston and Donny Bowman. The hurdlers weren't the only point getters in the runners' events. West had a colorful two-mile track team consisting of Mike Greeley, John Sonner, David Cox, and Albert Lyons. Another consistent performer was miler Kenny Gault who, only a sophomore, went to 108 the state track meet. Other outstanding runners were sprinters Tommy Anderson and Butch Lowery, quarter-miler Ronnie McMahan, and miler Benson. West had perhaps the strongest field team in the state. The weight men and iumpers were constantly getting first-places in their events. The shot putters were the boys who got the most points. Coached by Norman Meseroll, a former track starhimself, the shot putters, led by Gene Overholt, Bo Shafer, Bill Walker, and Larry Houghton, got all four of the top places in over three-fourths of all the meets.

C9 Suppose you went to a ball game and there weren't any cheerleaders? What a difference it would make! Having cheer- leaders to organize and lead our shouting stimulates school spirit and sportsmanship. This year our cheerleaders, by their pep and enthusiasm, have added much spirit to the games. The squad was chosen in May of 1955 and worked at least one day a week all summer practicing old cheers and inventing new ones. Three seniors, two iunors, two sophomores, and three alternates, whose grades must average higher than a C, compose the cheering squad. The cheerleaders are chosen through a system of tryouts. They perform first for a group of teachers. Those who are passed cheer in assembly before the students, who vote on them. The head cheerleader this year was Gail Goosie who, along with the rest of the squad, has done an excellent job.
