Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1962 volume:

FOREWORD The purpose of the Tomahawk is to portray the events of West Mecklenburg High School for the year 1961-1962 for lasting memories. Through the use of light, spirit, and flame we are able to depict the differing aspects of our student life. First, we denote the light of knowledge. Our primary objective for attending school is to obtain knowledge which will prepare us for our role in life. We must take advantage of the opportunities which our school offers for us to gain a good edu- cation. Participating in various extra-curricular activities such as clubs or sports is another resource which offers experience in working and cooperating with others. Our needs for a social life are met by various school activities which are provided by our school. Since everyone displays a light, spirit, and flame, a thought worthy of remembrance is Let your light so shine . . . .

The West Mecklenburg Student Council is only as good as its membership which consists of homeroom presidents, class presidents, club presidents, the editors and business managers of the Tomahawk and the Bow and Arrow, the head cheerleader, and the advisers. The opinions of the entire student body are reflected through this organization. Spencer Tinkham President Tommy Kirkman Vice-President EVELOPING QUALITIES FOR NEW AGE The Student Council functions much like a bank. Ideas from the student body are deposited with the Council. These ideas are invested in various com- mittees, which in turn reissue the ideas, with in- terest and method, as functioning projects. This year the Student Council has launched many varied ac- tivities for the benefit of the school and community.

The members assist the teachers in super- vising basketball games, keep the school bulletin board up to date, and make plans for an annual community project. The Key Club activities are organized in accordance with the motto, We Build. By serving in the Key Club each boy prepares for a useful citizen- ship and develops initiative and leadership. In addition, members may attend conventions, workshops, and caucuses provided by dis- trict Key Clubs and Kiwanis Clubs.

Membership in the West Mecklenburg Beta Club is based on a combined three year average of 94, the main- taining of a 90 average, and faculty approval. Members of the club edit a student directory and send gifts to former Beta Club members now in colleges.

From the spring of the previous year the editors and their assistants compile pictures and copy to complete the dummy before it is sent to press. TOMAHAWK Charlie Gadd, Associate Manager Donna Cathey, Circulation Manager Jimmy Ballentine, Ads Copy Editor Mary Kay Loy, Bookkeeper Pattie Todd, Ads Manager Alice Harmon, Assistant Ads Manager Tommy Kirkman, Paula Trull, Carol Sue Harkey, Emilye Wilson, Libby Zealy, Susan Young, Svlvia Teague, and Donny Lemmond. Jimmy Hyder Business Manager Sally Reagin Assistant Manager It is the responsibility of the business staff to raise the money needed to publish the Tomahawk. In the early fall, the main concern of the staff is selling ads to Charlotte business firms. Later in the year money is collected from subscriptions and picture sales. When the annual returns from press, mem- bers of the business staff manage sales of the Toma- hawk to the student body. Paulette Bishop Editor Feature Editor Gene Whisnant Business Manager BOW ARROW The award-winning student newspaper, the Bow and Arrow, is published monthly by the journalism classes of West Mecklenburg. Before school opened the news- paper staff met to develop an intensive advertising cam- paign. The staff also made plans for two additional is- sues of the newspaper and an earlier publishing date for the first issue. After a very successful advertising cam- paign, the staff began the task of writing, typing, proof reading, and pasting copy. The Bow and Arrow staff strives to present an accur- ate coverage of news that will benefit the entire student body, to interpret the news, and to entertain the readers. Sports Editor Humor Editor Circulation Manager Production Manager Typist Photographer Linda Macken Louie Young Jean Thompson Mary Kay Loy Sandra Greene Terrie Mullis Charlie Barnette Assisting the editors are Yvonne Ashe, Betty Boyles, John Bruton, Jimmy Cochran, Gary Downer, Jane Edwards, Sadie Hawkins, Doris Squires, Kay Jonas, Cliff Lane, Sammy Lowman, James Panther, and Laura Price. Page Twenty-two QUILL SCROLL A new club, the Quill and Scroll, has been organized at West in order to promote and reward individual achievement in the field of journalism. The two West Mecklenburg publications, the Tomahawk and the Bow and Arrow, received a charter granted by the Interna- tional Honor Society for High School Journalists. The international society publishes the QUILL AND SCROLL magazine which furnishes suggestions to local chapters and aids in directing high school journalism. Members of the Quill and Scroll must be juniors or seniors in the upper third of their class, who have done superior work in some phase of journalism. Eac h must be recommended by his supervisor and must be approved by the Executive Secretary of the society. Quill and Scroll members are selected from the second year journalism class and the business and editorial staffs of the Toma- hawk.

They learn to sing with expressive and beautiful tone quality, good pitch, correct breathing habits, clear diction, fine blend, and artistic interpretation. Through their own musical experiences, members be- come more discriminating listeners and develop the social ability to work and share with others. During the year participants become acquainted with the best music litera- ture available, both sacred and secular. GLEE CLUB The top picture includes the baritones, basses, and tenors of the Glee Club. The entire Glee Club is com- posed of 153 students, but members are distributed among four classes. A portion of the Glee Club participated in the county chorus, made up of all high school choirs in the county; performed for the ACE convention at West in November; and gave two concerts to the student body and faculty, one at Christmas and one in the spring. The officers of the Glee Club are Judy Howie, presi- dent; Jack Blythe, vice-president; and Charlie Barnette, secretary-treasurer. MUSIC MAKERS Membership in the Music Makers is offered to any student who is musically proficient. The band, composed of 17 high school students and 23 junior high students, is headed by David Rickelton, president; Eddie Truette, vice-president; and Sally Sims, secretary. The objectives of the club are stimulating an interest in service within the school and community and gaining a knowledge of the factors which improve musicianship. To accomplish these aims the Music Makers participate in various athletic contests, pep rallies, and homecomings. The band also plans to play in the annual county festival in the spring. GIRLS ' STATE Each spring the outstanding girls in the Junior Class are selected to represent West during the summer at Tar Heel Girls ' State on the W. C. U. N. C. campus in Greensboro, North Carolina. Each girl who is chosen must rank in the upper third of her class and must possess the qualities of leadership, honesty, and de- pendability. The six representatives from West to Girls ' State last summer were Libby Zealy, Juanita Alexander, Paulette Bishop, Anne Cherry, Mary Kay Loy, and Brenda Nash. With 3 1 2 other girls they experienced the running of elections and learned how they could contribute individually to free- dom and democracy. Many informative speeches on government and politics were given bv state officials. BOYS ' STATE The West Mecklenburg delegation to Boys ' State during the summer of 1961 consisted of seven members: Tim Harris, Jimmy Hyder, Mike Bridges, Spencer Tinkham, Charlie Barnette, Eddie Truette, and Gene Whisnant. These boys met with 382 other delegates on the campus of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, from June 18-25. During this time democratic elections of Boys ' State representatives to positions in simulated city, county, and state govern- ments were carried on; lectures were given by North Carolina state officials; and an oratorical contest was organized. The choosing of delegates to Boys ' State is based on the qualities of scholarship, leadership, honesty, and dependability ex- hibited during a student ' s sophomore and junior years at West. JUNIOR ROTARIANS Each month an outstanding senior boy is selected to meet with the Botary Clubs of Charlotte at their luncheon meetings on Tuesday. At these meetings the West delegate talks with other boys from high schools in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system. Businessmen of Charlotte discuss problems with the Junior Rotarians to acquaint them with the demands of today ' s business and to give them an op- portunity of self-expression in the adult world. Gene Whisnant, Steve Miller, Jimmy Hyder, Spencer Tinkham, Eddie Lawing, and Mike Bridges are the Junior Rotarians from West for 1961-1962! ART CLUB Throughout the year the Art Club has provided many interesting displays for the benefit of the student body and faculty. The members are encouraged to take part in these exhibits and projects in order to stimulate an interest in art and its voca- tional opportunities. Approximately forty or fifty students • from West have original projects entered in the annual Art Awards Contest at Woman ' s College in Greensboro, North Carolina, sponsored by the SCHOLASTIC MAGAZINE. Winners receive scholar- ships and special art awards. The Art Club consists of over 100 stu- dents who take art as a subject. The officers— Jack Blythe, president; Eddie Truette, vice-president; and Paulette Bishop, secretary-treasurer— are on the right side of the picture. SCIENCE CLUB One of the main projects of the Science Club is the operation of a local weather station headed by the vice-president, Susi Eskildsen (pictured at the right). The president, Juanita Alexander, and the secretary-treasurer, Darlene Reavis, direct the club in visiting places of interest with- in this area and in sponsoring the annual Science Fair at West. The Science Club is affiliated with the Science Clubs of America, a national or- ganization which sponsors science fairs and furnishes materials and suggestions to local science clubs for projects. LIBRARY CLUB Greater interest in the library and in reading is the principal purpose of the West Mecklenburg Library Club. With Mike Bridges, president; Frank Hodges, vice-president; Donna Cathey, secretary; and Carolyn Lynn, treasurer, the club has strived to uphold its purpose by such ac- tivities as a tea for the sophomores, in- teresting programs for the club members, and group fellowship. By these varied ac- tivities the club remains one of the most popular in the school. Library Club mem- bers are expected at all times to set out- standing examples of library citizenship. Page Twenty-seven 1 I Promoting a better understanding be- tween home, school, and community and preparing students for a future life as HOMEMAKERS are the purposes of the Future Homemakers of America ... A program of work for the year was planned during the summer by the executive com- mittee . . . Anne Cherry, President; Bar- bara Hough, vice-president; Judy Entre- kin, secretary; and Judy Howie, treas- urer. Using the state and national plans as guides, a program was organized to in- clude an emblem service, nutrition dis- cussions, a work shop to make toys for hospitals, a Christmas idea session, and a charm workshop. F. F. A. The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of, by, and for boys studying vocational agriculture. The club is designed to develop competent rural leaders; but it also encourages scholarship, thrift, and cooperative effort. Heading the F.F.A. are Butch Mc- Carver, president; Butch Jones, vice-presi- dent; and Bill Millsaps, secretary-treas- urer. The F.F.A. undertakes projects that are beneficial to its members and the com- munity. The motto of the club is Learn- to do, doing to earn, earning to live, liv- ing to serve. COMMERCIAL CLUB The members of the Commercial Club are those students who have completed at least one commercial course and who are maintaining a B average in another commercial course. The objectives of the Commercial Club are to develop wholesome business leader- ship, to create a better understanding of and interest in a business future, and to encourage better home and community re- lationships. This year the Commercial Club has or- ganized various programs which include speeches by prominent personalities in the Charlotte business world. Directing the club through all phases of its activities are Sandra Greene, president; Judy Smith, vice-president; Cecilia Scarnechia, secre- tary; and Rita Ware, treasurer. D. E.

Ralph Miller serves the club as president; Margaret Reynolds, as vice- president; Cecil Brock, as associate presi- dent; Sue Carithers, as secretary; and Jimmie Poston, as treasurer. The purposes of the D. E. Club are developing leadership qualities and provid- ing social activities to take the place of many school functions which the members miss. Leadership qualities are developed through projects and awards designed to encourage professional improvement and to develop self-confidence. ENGINEERING CLUB Recently reorganized, the Engineers ' Club of West Mecklenburg has instituted a very new and ambitious program. Hav- ing set more rigid requirements, the club is now composed of college bound students. Programs are varied to present, if pos- sible, the whole scope of engineering. Pride in the school is also highly endorsed by the club. Vocational education for the future and technological enlightenment in the everyday world are the principal pur- poses of the club. Jimmy Miller leads the club as president with Jimmy Ballentine as vice-president, Frank Hodges as secretary, and Woody McClure as treasurer. Page Twenty-nine The Camera Club is organized to pro- mote photography as a hobby, to teach students the proper use of a camera, and to present photography as a vocation. Under the leadership of Charlie Barnette, president; Brenda Walker, vice-president; and Judy Brown, secretary-treasurer, the members of the club are learning how to improve the quality of their photography. During the Christmas holidays, the Camera Club went camera caroling, sing- ing and taking flash pictures. Another ac- tivity planned for the year is a trip to B H Photo Company to view color and black and white processing. LATIN CLUB The Filii et Filiae Romae or the West Mecklenburg High School Latin Club is an active chapter of the Junior Classical League, a nationwide organization spon- sored by the American Classical League of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. The group is also affiliated with the state or- ganization and meets monthly. The officers— president, Paulette Bishop; vice-president, Glen Mabry; secretary, Sallye Preslar; and treasurer, Libby Zealy —are in charge of Latin Week in April. At this time, students turn in projects and the week is climaxed by an authentic re- enactment of a Latin Banquet. FRENCH CLUB The French Club— under the leadership of Tommy Kirkman, president; Frank Ramsey, vice-president; and Carolyn Tay- lor, secretary-treasurer— is composed of French II students and some French I students who are interested in the ever popular subject Parlons Francais. The purpose of the club is to better acquaint its members with the language, customs, culture, and peoples of the French nation, our neighbor in a world which is rapidly growing smaller. The Lord bless BIBLE CLUB The Bible Club strives to stimulate spiritual and mental growth, to give mem- bers a better understanding and apprecia- tion of the Bible and its use in our lives, and to afford an opportunity for service in the school and community. The officers are Emily Wilson, presi- dent; Brenda Massey, vice-president; Anne Cherry, secretary; and Kenneth O ' Shields, treasurer. Projects of the Bible Club this year are donations of food to needy families at Thanksgiving, the gift of Bible records to a blind person, and the presentation of an Easter program. Members are en- couraged not only to serve through the club but to serve on an individual basis. JUNIOR COUNCIL Composed of junior class officers, junior homeroom officers, and card chairmen, the Junior Council manages Christmas card sales during the fall of the year. Each junior participates by selling cards and wrapping paper. With the accumulated finances the Junior Council plans and or- ganizes the annual Junior-Senior Prom in the spring. The president of the junior class, Frank Hodges, directs the Junior Council and is assisted by the vice-president, Becky Black; the secretary, Patricia Edwards; and the treasurer, Woodv McClure. HIGH SCHOOL RED CROSS Enrolling all students in the High School Red Cross, visiting rest homes and hospitals, making a picture album to send to last year ' s foreign exchange student, enlisting Teen-Aids for hospitals, and par- ticipating in the International Art Program are the objectives of the High School Red Cross this year. By carrying out the above activities, the Red Cross club fulfills its purpose, which is to give service to the school, to the community, to the nation, and to other lands. Cary White is president; Ken Hipp, vice-president; Judy Smith, secretary; Doug Turner, treasurer; and Bill Marks, pub- licity director. THE FIRE OF COMPETITION 19 6 2 After the loss of seven of nine starters, the West Mecklenburg baseball team employed the services of rising talent to post a 3-5 record in the rugged Western 4-A Conference and an overall record of 5-10 during the 1961 season. Although not having a winning season, the fourteen returning lettermen of 1962 acquired much valuable skill. Ronnie Robinson Coach Carl Bolick West in an early season game against North Gary Smith, Tim Harris, Gary Gregg jay Jimmy Hyder, Mike Mullis, Roger Dilling, Eddie Hallman BASEBALL Through the guidance of Carl Bolick and Clyde Peek we can look forward to a highly successful season in 1962. With returnees to all nine positions, six of these being starters last year, and a bumper crop of talented sophomores, this year ' s team may be among the best in West ' s history. Quoting Coach Bolick, We will be around. Tommy Kirkman Clyde Peek Assistant Coach Eddie Hallman Harry Simpson Gary Lemmond Ronnie Robinson Tommy Kirkman Roger Dilling Mr. Laye Gary Smith Gary Gregg Mike Mullis Tim Harris Donny Lemmond Jimmy Hyder Mr. Bolick Perry Lee Carver Donny- Lemmond Mack Armstrong Billy Ellis 19 6 2 Power running and strategic aerial strikes wrecked many of West Mecklenburg ' s football opponents this year. The 1961 Indians com- piled a 3-4 record in the Western 4-A Conference and a 4-6 overall record as their split-T formation began to click under the coaching of Frank Maennle and his two able assistants, Carl Bolick and Clyde Peek. West captured the County Championship and was most im- pressive against highly-rated Harding High in the season opener for both clubs. With the same awesome effect of a heavyweight sledge hammering opponent, a lightweight West Mecklenburg battered Asheville ' s Lee Edwards High 14 to 7 in its homecoming game. ft Coach Frank Maennle Junior Varsity: Charles Walker, Ken Hipp, Steve Mahaffey, Daryl Bandy, Ronnie Hooper, Edwin Leu, Gene Owens, Jeff Davis, Johnny Moffitt, Ned Sexton, Gary Reavis, Breece Stogner, lim Austell, Larry Crook, Dempsey Tindell, Richard Henderson, Eddie Sloan, Tommy Wright, Steve Nesbitt, Howard Roberts, Sandy Davis, David Lane, and Coach Peek. Starting Eleven: Jimmy Flowe, Butch Jones, Henry Sadler, Lloyd Kanipe, Jimmy Brown, Donny Lemmond, Chris Coates, Frank Vogt, Billy Ellis, J. B. Reeves, and Dean McCall. FOOTBALL This victory marked the second time in the Conference history that a county team has defeated a city team. There were many thrills provided by the West eleven this fall but one all will remember is the 24 to 19 victory over North Mecklen- burg. Trailing 19 to 18 with only seconds left in the game, J. B. Reeves plunged into paydirt as the sound of the siren ended the hard- fought contest. With the return of eight starters to next year ' s squad, one can only say that the future in football looks bright for West. Chris Coates Varsity: Lloyd Canipe, Butch Jones, Frank Vogt, Billy Ellis, Jimmy Brown, Dean McCall, Danny Nicholson, Jimmy Flowe, Chris Coates, Henry Sadler, Donny Lemmond, J. B. Reeves, and Wayne Williams. 19 6 2 West Mecklenburg ' s basketball team burdened with the loss of six lettermen, four of whom composed the starting five, has been faced with an almost complete rebuilding of the team. Though not blessed with that necessary factor of basketball, height, the team has done surprisingly well this year. Last year ' s team also disheartened by the lack of height managed to post a 9-7 con- ference record and 11-8 overall record and made it to the semi-finals of the conference playoffs. Gary Smith Kent Moseley Varsity Coach Ken Furr, Larry Walker, Larry Keistler, Mike DeMerrit, Larry Boyles, Coach Laye, Charle5 Boyles, Charles Howarth, Steve Howie, Wallace Aldridge, and Allan Price. BASKETBALL Coached by the proven capabilities of Kent Moseley, the team, sparringly using the full court press and a well poised offense, has withstood the tremendous competition in the Western 4-A Confer- ence. Although not fully aware of the record this year ' s team will post, we are sure that West will make a fine showing. Tim Harris Jim Hyder Mike Mullis Ronnie Robinson Tommy Kirkman Annual Student-Faculty Game Chris Coates, Donny Lemmond, Sammy Lowman, Ronnie Robinson, Eddie Hallman, Tommy Kirkman, Jimmy Cochran, Gary Gregg, Gary Smith, Jimmy Hyder, Tim Harris, and Mike Mullis. 1962 TRACK Track has always held a high position among the other sports at West. During the past, many winning teams have been produced but none of them showed the promise of this year ' s team. The 100 yard dash is weaker than usual but many boys show promise of build- ing it up. The 440 is led by many old pros and is said to be the best ever in the school history. The 880 (Yi mile) is the strongest ever. Altogether the track team should make a very good showing and give a good accounting for themselves this year.

CROSS-COUNTRY Since its initiation into the athletic program three years ago, Cross- country has fast become popular at West. Not only does it develop good sportsmanship, but it increases the fire of competition and pride in our school. Much of the credit for our successful team must be given to Ronald Patterson. Both he and the school are proud of the hard work and interest shown by these wing-footed boys.

GOLF Golf is being incorporated at West Mecklenburg for the first regularly set schedule. The team, under the instruction of Kent Moseley, is prepared to meet all foes and has high hopes of emerging victorious. This season ' s members are Gary Summerour, Cliff Lane, Larry Carlson, Jimmy Cochran, and Andy Sullivan. TENNIS Tennis as a competitive sport is beginning its first scheduled season at West Meck- lenburg in the spring of 1962. Two tennis courts have been built on the school campus, and a team is in the process of organization under the coaching of Lavon Laye. Page Forty-two G.A.A. OF 1961 Last year ' s G.A.A., under the guidance of Miss Betty Jo Clary, compiled the most points in individual events to win the State Playday Trophy. ' ' This is a great honor to the school and to the girls that participated in the playday at High Point, North Carolina. G.A.A. OF 1962 During the past three years a Girls ' Athletic Association has existed at West Meck- lenburg. In this time the G.A.A. ' s have won such honors as city and state softball championships and a state volleyball championship. The Association devotes itself to the advancement of various athletics ever mindful of practicing good sportsmanship. The officers of this year ' s association are Linda Adams, president; Barbara McCord, vice-president; Loretta Todd, secretary; and Judy Vaden, treasurer. CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders have played an important part in kindling the flame of school spirit among the students at West. Boasting the maroon and white, they were present at all the games to give their wholehearted support to the Indians and to lead the students in cheers. By supporting the games they have encouraged attendance and increased the spirit of the players. In turn, they have received the pleasure of leading the cheering students. Their task was not easy; their work sometimes unrewarded, but the girls never failed to give their time and efforts willingly. The responsibility and privilege of representing our school at athletic events was entrusted to every girl, and each one has earned the grati- tude and respect accorded her position. This year ' s cheerleaders are Donna Cathey, Faye Thompson, Patricia Edwards, Barbara Senn, Carolyn Taylor, Brenda Lawing, and Marsha Harben. Miss Nancy Sides Sponsor Any student who has earned a letter in a sport at West is entitled to membership in the Monogram Club. The Monogram Club is organized to give special recognition to students who participate in the various sports and to encourage good sportsmanship and clean play. Henry Sadler is president of the Monogram Club; Donny Lemmond, vice-president; and Sallye Presslar, secretary-treasurer. MONOGRAM CLUB LETTER GIRLS For the second year our letter girls were a conspicuous part of the sports scene at West.

Where can you find such tal- ented youngsters? That ' s easy: there are thousands of them in the Junior Achievement movement. They ' re doing all these things . . . learning the American way of doing busi- ness . . . seeing for themselves that free enterprise pays off self-reliance with profit, prog- ress and freedom. Junior Achievement is spon- sored by many of America ' s businesses, including the most famous corporations, to give enthusiastic youngsters prac- tical training in business and citizenship. Volunteer advis- ors from all fields of business guide them and their junior corporations towards success and profit. The kids get busi- ness experience and under- standing that will be mighty valuable when they ' re on their own. And they have a lot of fun, too, seeing their pastime pay off in cash! JUNIOR ACHIEVE MENT OF Most important of all, Junior CHARLOTTE INC Achievement helps young people think for themselves. It helps develop responsible, young citizens who will be America ' s biggest asset some day. 925 SOUTH TRYON STREET CHARLOTTTE, N. C.
