Excluding the home, the school is probably the most important single influence on our growth in preparation for confronting the challenges of to- morrow ' s life. Moreover, the high school, to a great- er extent than the elementary school or the univer- sity, must bear the brunt of responsibility for guid- ing us in the most important metamorphosis in our lives — the transformation from children dependent upon society to adults responsible for society. Most of us expect the high school to prepare us for tomorrow through scholastic advancement. The West administration and faculty accept as a chal- lenge their obligation in this area of our develop- ment. They realize that the very reason for West ' s existence is to equip its students with the basic facts, ideas, and techniques necessary both to ap- preciate our many-faceted world and to cope with our world ' s ever-increasing myriad of problems. Mrs. Jo Foster ' s spiritual leadership inspires students as she presents a devotion in the auditorium.

Page 6 rough ACTIVITIES Earl Armstrong lights the traditional candle signifying his initi- ation into the Beta Club. Obviously we cannot learn everything from teach- ers, neither from teachers in books nor from those in classrooms. We must learn the skills in human relations through our own experiences with people. With this purpose in mind, the many club activities at West offer every interested student among us an excellent opportunity to work with his contempora- ries on worthwhile projects. These projects, as well as other club activities, are planned and executed by students. Since teacher advisors offer only the most necessary counsel, we students gain the val- uable practice and, perhaps more important, the inner satisfaction of being a member contributing a vital part to a successful independent accomplish- ment. Development through activities is an integral phase in our growth for tomorrow. Mrs. Keistler, assisted by West students, gaily decorates a school Christmas tree. Page 7 During a practice session in the gym, Allan Price stretches to Wrestling is a new activity added to the sports program at West, dunk the basketball. Page 8 rough SPORTS Before the game, West players gather in a huddle to discuss the final details of team strategy. When faced with a last-minute goal-line stand, every member of a football team on the field is challenged to react with as much alertness, agility, and strength as he is capable. Thus competing through sports trains us to perform under pressure with our maximum ability. With competition for job opportunities and for college admittance more rig- orous and pressured every year, quick, level-headed reactions in tense situations become increasingly more essential. Also, competitive sports instruct us in the art of thorough preparation, without which few worthwhile goals in life are reached. Only after the long, sometimes monotonous and discouraging, hours of conditioning and practicing fundamentals is athletic skill in game performance possible. Stiff personal competition and exemplification of the necessity of preparation — both of these elements, offered us by the athletic program at West, are es- sential to our growth for tomorrow. Page 9 Morris Newlander and Bill Rothwell leave to attend a discus- sion of economics presented by the Charlotte Industrial Man- agement Board. In every phase of life at West, a few students ac- cept the burden of making any particular activity one that will be a fond remembrance to everyone concerned. Honored in various ways and often chosen to represent West, these students must taste the fruit of responsibility, concomitant to the honor. They must accept and respond to the fact that their actions may be the guides influencing other stu- dents. Probably no situation more than such leader- ship can prompt them to examine their ideals and their opinions on provocative questions. Only per- sons who, after honest and thorough introspection, have decided upon their criteria of justice and mo- rality, can reasonably be termed mature; and all factual growth is valueless without character ma- turity. Progressively maturing through honors, lead- ers at West continue their growth for tomorrow by increasing their self-understanding as a prerequisite to objective consideration of the problems of life. maJtwdnq John McAlpine demonstrates his two-year research project, concerned with microwave communication, that received high recognition in the South Piedmont Science Fair. through HONORS Receiving the good citizenship nomination is an honor which can be received by three people in each class.

Cheerleaders Kathy DeVita and Jane Cashion lead the enthusi- astic students in a victory cheer during a tense moment in the West-Myers Park game. We students have certain bonds with all others in our class. Sophomores have the kindred experi- ence of becoming acquainted with the many facets of West. Juniors have the kindred task of learning the organizational methods by which West func- tions. Seniors have the kindred duty of making their graduating class a memorable one through their re- sponsible leadership in West activities. Thus we stu- dents progress through classes in the comprehen- sion that West depends upon our responsibility and initiative. Along with the phases of growth pre- sented in the other four sections of the TOMA- HAWK, progressing through classes rounds out the growth for tomorrow experienced by us at West. Certainly our growing for tomorrow does not end at West. West is, to put the case in space-age jar- gon, mereiy a testing ground for us, its students. The years at West are spent testing new ideas, fads, or habits to determine whether they live up to their advance notices. The years at West are spent in- vestigating self in order to determine strong points and to strengthen weak points. Our growing for tomorrow at West is just one link in the concatenate experiment of life that will continue in the future. Page 12 through CLASSES On College Night several students discuss the advantages of an Air Force career with informed officers. Page 13 The high school is expected to prepare us for tomorrow through scholastic advancement. In order to equip us, its students, with superior scholastic background, West increased its faculty, curriculum, and facilities. The faculty was enlarged by ten new teachers; the curriculum, by three new subjects; the facilities, by the installment of two language labs and by the purchase of new supplemental texts and other equipment.

English Department courses are designed to give all students, whether college-bound or otherwise, a well-rounded background. Sophomore English acquaints students with var- ious types of literature. Shakespeare ' s Julius Caesar and George Elliot ' s Silas Marner are studied. A basic grammar course is also stressed. Juniors learn and demonstrate the correct pro- cedure for writing a term paper. American litera- ture enlightens students to the importance of con- tributions made by our country ' s authors. Greek Mythology, as well as vocabulary study and a more detailed course in grammar, is offered to students in English IV. Seniors also read and learn to appreciate Greek drama and Shakespeare- an literature. Mythology, the study of Greek gods, plays an important part in senior English literature study. In Junior English classes students read and study the play Our Town as part of their literature. Mrs. Nancy Benfield English II FT. A, Club Advisor Mrs. Johnsie H.

Classroom Labs Enrich Language Studies Through more advanced methods, West ' s Foreign Language Department made great strides toward students ' comprehension of foreign languages. Two language labs were added, giving all foreign lan- guage students an opportunity to hear, speak, and comprehend each language. The Latin Department gives the student the abil- ity to read and understand Latin, and it provides a broader outlook of the English language. Two years of Latin are available to the students. Spanish courses are designed to enable students to comprehend and speak this language more ably. Both Spanish I and II stress grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. West offers two years of French. French I empha- sizes the fundamentals of grammar. French II em- phasizes more advanced grammar and readings. These courses contribute to the knowledge of French civilization, increase the comprehension of the language, and enlarge the vocabulary. Miss Johnson ' s Spanish classes learn not only by studying the Spanish language but also by studying the customs and dress.

Biology I pupils study the body structure of the coelenterate hydra as part of their year ' s work. Biology I, Biology II, Chemistry I, physics, and senior science offer choices for the two science units required for graduation. Biology I enables the student to understand the relationship which exists between organisms in na- ture. Biology 1 1 is a course which probes more deeply into plant and animal life. Chemistry I teaches the student the fundamental concepts of general chemistry. A higher-level science course is high school phy- sics. It consists of units in mechanics, heat, sound, light, properties of matter, atomic physics, and nuclear physics. Senior science, offered only to seniors, teaches basic science.

West ' s Mathematics Department offers train- ing for students who will continue their education in college and also for students who will end their formal education in high school. Such courses as business math, geometry, Alge- bra I, and Algebra II are taken by the majority of students as basic math courses. Algebra, besides being necessary background for further courses in mathematics, is helpful, along with business math, in solving practical problems. This year ' s geometry texts brought to all geometry students the concepts of solid geometry as natural sequels to those of plane geometry. These subjects are needed by all students in the formation of sound methods of rea- soning. Especially challenging math courses are college algebra and senior math, both of which are favorite courses of students planning to go to college. Col- lege algebra, an extension of Algebra II, is consid- ered by many colleges as one basis for advanced placement in mathematics. Senior math, which in- troduces trigonometry in the first semester and solid aeometry in the second semester, is a pre- requisite for all students interested in a career in science. Page 21 Students Study World Conditions World history, United States history, geography, and economics and sociology comprise the Social Studies Department. Both world history and United States history are required for graduation from West. World history is a course combining the study of history and eco- nomics of many different countries, while United States history offers a more intense study of the United States. Economics and sociology is an elective social studies course. During first semester, a survey of the principles and problems of economics is made. Sec- ond semester utilizes such subjects as sociology, psychology, and political science. Geography, another elective, is not only a study of the geography of different countries, but also a study of the economic and social conditions of these same countries.

Students Prepare for Business Careers Students who plan to work after graduation, rather than go to college, receive the most help from the Commercial Department. However, many com- mercial students do attend college. This department offers shorthand, business law, business math, typing, bookkeeping, general office practice, and general business English as the com- mercial courses. From the students who have applied to take dis- tributive education, only a relatively few are chosen. These students prepare themselves for better jobs by gaining experience in many ways — by studying production and distribution, by acquiring a basic knowledge of economics, and by working at various business establishments throughout the city.

New Dramatics Class Organized at West Girls in home economics classes learn advanced techniques in sewing. To insure students of a well-rounded program of study, there is a wide choice of electives. In the area of fine arts, a student may choose among such courses as band, dramatics, glee club, and art. Home arts, such as home economics and family living, present opportunities to explore different fields in homemaking and home experience. Journalism I and II are preparation courses for the BOW AND ARROW staff. The TOMAHAWK staff learn principles of yearbook editing. Other electives such as agriculture, mechanical drawing, industrial arts, Bible, driver education, li- brary, and psychology add to the courses, giving students an opportunity to expand in practically any field they choose.

New Equipment Benefits PE Students Two years of physical education, usually taken in the freshman and sophomore years, are required for graduation from West. A diversified program to promote good sports- manship and fair play, as well as to increase the student ' s athletic ability, is planned for both boys and girls. For boys, such activities as wrestling, track and field sports, and calisthenics are stressed. Group sports in which the boys participate are baseball, basketball, football, and crab soccer. Girls ' physical education is designed to achieve physical fitness and dexterity, as well as to develop good posture and gracefulness. Varied activities in their physical education classes include calisthen- ics, modern dance, archery, and tumbling. The ad- dition of new equipment enabled the girls to engage in a number of group sports — volleyball, field hock- ey, softball, and tennis. Boys ' and girls ' physical education classes com- bine for a course in folk and ballroom dancing. Modern dance highlights P.E. classes. Page 25 uu Jl .....

The activities sponsored by the more than nineteen organizations at West offered every interested student a chance to evince his organizational or artistic talents or merely to fraternize with school friends outside school. developing through ACTIVITIES Council, TOMAHAWK Adapt Same Theme All homerooms and clubs are represented on the Student Council. As the center of student govern- ment, the Student Council gives all students a chance to voice their opinions through these rep- resentatives. The Student Council members began their year ' s activities by serving as guides for the sophomores. During the year this leading organiza- tion sponsored three dances — Getting to Know You, given especially for the new students and sophomores; Festival of Shakespeare, a spring dance; and Maroon and White Dance, an annual- signing party and sock hop. This year ' s officers rep- resented West Mecklenburg at two conventions — the North Carolina State Congress in Winston- Salem and the Western District Convention in Ashe- ville. The 1964 TOMAHAWK is proud to expand and adapt the same theme as that of the 1963-64 Student Council — Growing for Tomorrow.

STUDENT COUNCIL COMMITTEES Each committee of the Student Council consisted of a chairman and volunteer members who signed in their homerooms to serve on the various com- mittees. The chairmen, who were prominent mem- bers of the Student Council, instructed their com- mittee members on the functions of their commit- tees. Each individual committee did its part in work- ing toward the betterment of the school. By making colorful posters and shakies for use at athletic ac- tivities, the School Spirit Committee encourages student attend- ance. Corresponding with Japanese girls about their school clubs is an important project of the American Field Service Committee. Page 30 GET OUT OF THE TANGLE! WITH GOOD STUDY HABITS The Finance Committee sells West Mecklenburg stickers, pen- nants, and beanies. Members of the Constitution Committee — Glenn Mabry, Jerry Hedden, Glenda Sullivan, and Susie Pratt — propose amend- ments to the Student Council constitution. Planning and decorating tor three school dances is the respon- sibility of the Social Committee. The Social Committee planned all school dances. To better student-faculty relations, members of the Hospitality Committee presented apples to the teachers on Teachers ' Appreciation Day and sent them cards at Christmas. The School Spirit Com- mittee was responsible for publicizing school games and promoting more interest in sports. Student Council members were instructed on parliamentary procedure by the Constitution Committee. The American Field Service Committee members cor- responded with foreign students about life here and abroad. Decorations for special occasions were made by the Cafeteria Committee. The music played during lunch was planned by the Record Committee. The money that was used for Student Council projects was raised by the Finance Com- mittee. Selecting music to be played in the cafeteria during lunch is the responsibility of the Record Committee. Page 31 President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer West Mecklenburg ' s chapter of the national Beta Club is composed of juniors and seniors who have attained a 94 average for a three-year period and have displayed leadership qualities. New members were tapped into the club during the first semester in a special assembly. Each member is pledged to continue to evidence honesty, dependability, and co-operation in all phases of school life. In order to maintain membership in the club, each student must maintain an average of 90. This year Beta Club activities included attending the annual con- vention and editing the student directory.

Our school newspaper, published monthly, often represents student opinion on topics of interest. The journalism classes, pub- lishers of the paper, strive to give complete and ac- curate coverage of school news. Much time, ten- sion, and hard work go into the production of an issue of the paper.

In the spring of the preceding year, editors began making basic decisions about the style of the an- nual and arranging schedules for senior pictures to be taken in the summer. With the beginning of school came the jobs of scheduling underclassmen and group pictures and of editing the vast amount of information required to tell the West story. Only a dedicated group could have achieved all that was needed to create the 1964 edition of the TOMA- HAWK.

Members of the staff had a busy summer, for the work of selling ads to business firms began early in order to meet the budget that had been planned. After school started, much re- mained to be done: staff members sold subscrip- tions of the TOMAHAWK to students and planned the layout of the ads section.

The council carried out this aim on three levels: locally, club volunteers made Christmas stockings for hospitals and served at community pools, playgrounds, and hospitals; President: Louise Pursley Secretary: Lynn Pickler nationally, the council helped provide aid for pov- erty or disaster-stricken areas; internationally, the council made a scrapbook of school activities and pictures to send overseas to a former West ex- change student. Vice-President: Linda Jones Treasurer: Jeff Prather Red Cross Aids Disaster Areas Bus Drivers Take Tests In order that students may be transported to and from school safely, bus drivers at West Mecklen- burg must be capable and responsible persons. Each driver must pass a written examination and a road test qualifying him to drive a county school bus. In addition to driving a bus, drivers must keep ac- curate daily records of students who ride their buses. These records are turned in at the end of each month.

The members, all interested in photography, study and learn the proper use of the camera. The art of picture making, another key to better photography, President: Sandra Butner Secretary-Treasurer: Glenda Sullivan is also practiced by Camera Club members. Club activities — such as a schoolwide photo contest, a trip to Delmar Studios, and a trip to NCNB to make pictures — helped the Camera Club members pre- pare for a more worthwhile career in photography. Vice-President: Frankie Mauney Clicking Shutters Mark Camera Club Commercial Club Tours Center One of the largest student organizations, the Com- mercial Club, was created in order to prepare stu- dents for positions of responsibility in the business world of tomorrow. Its members strive to stay in- formed about vocational opportunities. During the busy week before Christmas holidays, the club President: Linda Senter Secretary: Sally Scott members prepared fruit baskets for two needy fam- ilies. On February eleventh and thirteenth, the Commercial Club left from school to visit the East- ern Airline ' s Computer Center. Guides took the club members through the entire system, which was highlighted by the main computer. Vice-President: Gene Miracle Treasurer: Frances Wise Page 41 To expose its members to first-hand association with the most famous French-born festival, the French Club sponsored a Mardi Gras masquerade banquet in April. In two regular programs, guest speakers — Penny Thomas, who traveled in France and Europe last summer, and Francine Bougeon, who attended East Mecklenburg High School as a President: Vickie Leebrick Secretary: Pam Hirst IV foreign exchange student from France — shared with the club their personal insights into French modes of thought. Through these activities the French Club attempted to give its members a more inti- mate understanding of life in France than they could receive in regular classes. Vice-President: Jimmy Funderburk Treasurer: Belinda Home French Club Initiates Mardi Gras Demonstrations Aid FFA Future Farmers of America is an essential organ of the vocational program at West. FFA provides an opportunity for boys interested in farming to gain valuable experience through supervised practice. Discussions and demonstrations of modern agricul- tural innovations aid the members by furnishing them with useful information. The club strives to encourage scholarship and foster patriotism among President: H. C. Peek Secretary: Allen Roris its members. Projects of the FFA included the fol- lowing contests: tool identification, seed judging, soil judging, dairy and livestock judging, and par- liamentary procedure. After receiving training in these areas, all members were encouraged to enter contests in which they would compete with other chapters in this nationwide organization. Vice-President: Frankie Godley Treasurer: Ronnie Sneed Page 42 Composed of Bible I and II students, the Bible Club seeks to familiarize its members with religious customs and practices of other countries.

For that reason and for the reason that a healthy mind functions best in a sound body, West provided a varied athletic program for both boys and girls. All of the many teams representing West fared well against rugged competition in the Western 4-A Conference. competing through SPORTS Running from the newly-installed single wing, the West Mecklenburg Indians compiled a 3-7 record this year. Under the leadership of our new mentor, Gene Abercrombie and his assistants, Glenn Wilson, Carl Bolick and Clyde Peek, the In- dians rolled to impressive wins against some strong foes. The two most impressive victories came against North, in the Homecoming game, and against Harding. The 19-6 triumph over North was a thrill- ing climax to the Homecoming festivities. West defeated Harding 7-0 for the first victory over the Rams in our school ' s history. Several members of the Indian squad were se- lected to all-county teams. Tailback Breece Stogner, end Jimmy Flowe, and tackle Lloyd Kanipe were named to the all-county teams of both the CHAR- LOTTE OBSERVER and the CHARLOTTE NEWS.

Individual as well as team effort led the Indians from a slow start to a late-season surge which carried them to the state playoffs. Talent, ability, and desire — traits of the 1963-64 squad — lifted the Tribe to a 15-9 record after three successive early-season losses. Price, All-County center, standing 6 ' 6 , led both the team and con- ference in scoring at 21.5 points per game and re- bounding at 14 per game. Forwards Wherry and Helms, each averaging 9 points per game, were tough rebounders under the boards. Boyles, prob- ably the best shot to play basketball for West, and Keistler, the playmaker of the squad, completed the starting five, with each scoring at a 12.5 rate. West ' s great basketball team received many honors and introduced many firsts for the record books. Price set a school record of 40 points in one game; Price made the All-County first team and Larry Keistler, the second team; Boyles and Price won positions on the All-Tournament team; the Indians finished third place in the tournament; Boyles scored 30 points against Myers Park in the tournament — the second highest score in the play- offs; and for the first time in thirteen years a West team reached the State Playoffs. Helms, Price, and Wherry await rebound of a futile shot. Junior Varsity Coach Lavon Laye; Head Coach Kent Moseley.

Our Indians beat North 4 to 1 in the conference playoffs but then lost to a strong East team 5 to 1 . A second place berth in the conference earned West the honor of playing in the state semifinals at Greensboro, but the team lost to Greensboro Page 2 to 1 .

Club members participated in a variety of energetic activities throughout the year. The club met each Tuesday, with meetings lasting approxi- mately two hours. The girls engaged in such sports as speedball, volleyball, basketball, tennis, track and field, bowling, and hiking. By taking part in the various activities, the girls received points to- ward earning their letters. In May, West GAA mem- bers participated in the annual state playday at High Point.

DIANE SMALL POOCHIE THORNTON Cheerleaders Boost School Spirit On the football field or the basketball court, West ' s cheerleaders were always there to cheer the team to victory. Even in defeat, these girls shouted encour- agement. Good sportsmanship and school spirit were emphasized by the cheerleaders in hopes that the student body would follow their example. Cer- tainly the eight maroon-and-white clad girls de- served praise for their fine display of undaunted enthusiasm. Hearing the cheerleaders yell I ' M AN INDIAN, COULDN ' T BE PROUDER left a ringing in one ' s ears and a feeling of pride in one ' s heart that would never be forgotten. BELINDA HORNE Alternate KATHY DeVITA RAE COWAN Alternate By maturing through honors, leaders at West continued through self-understanding their growth for tomorrow. West was favored with many leaders in the widely differing areas of beauty, intellect, sports, and social life. Whether by planning successful socials and other school activities or by participating in county or state-wide programs, these students served West well. maturi through HONORS For the first time at West ten seniors were selected by a student-faculty committee as the most out- standing members of the Senior Class. Ten seniors who have best displayed superiority in leadership, service, character, and scholarship were chosen. This honor represents years of perseverance, de- pendability, unselfish service, and application to duty. BILL ROTHWELL TOMAHAWK Honors BETTY COX Page 68 Indeed every student selected represented the ideals of West Mecklenburg. They have advanced through scholarship, developed through activities, competed through sports, matured through honors, and pro- gressed through classes. Thus, they have grown for tomorrow. MAURICE YORK i Outstanding Seniors SALLY SCOTT Page 69 Page 70 Page 71 D A R Throughout her high school years, Sally Scott showed outstanding qualities of leadership and service to the school.

Earl contributed much time to the class projects and especially to the Junior-Senior Prom. Being a member of the Beta Club, Student Council, and vice-president of the Key Club, Earl gained the confidence of the entire class through his con- stant service. There were other fields where his ac- tivities were acknowledged. He was a valuable member to both the golf team and the basketball team. Liked by his fellow students and his teachers, Earl represented his class competently as the junior who possessed the traits of a good citizen and leader. Underclassmen Choose Best Citizens SOPHOMORE An outstanding leader and citizen, Jay Kistler was elected to represent his class as the sophomore Best Citizen.

Seniors Cherish Memories of West While preparing for one of the most memorable days in our lives, we looked back on our last and best year at West. We remembered the times we were glad together and also the sadness we experi- enced at leaving. We remembered electing class officers, superlatives, and beauties; attending all the thrilling ball games; and dancing on the patio at the senior dance. Most of all we remembered the excitement of finally receiving our symbols of sta- tus, our senior rings. Then came the selection of our class flower, the red rose, and our class motto, We have been led, now we will lead. Memories of all these wonderful events we shall cherish for- ever.

Juniors Plan Prom, Order Rings At West the junior year was certainly a busy one. It was a year filled with work and excitement. The first project that the juniors undertook was that of Christmas card sales. The profits from this project were used to finance the Junior-Senior Prom, which was held in the spring. Everything from planning to cleaning-up for this dance was the responsibility of the juniors. For those juniors who were considering college, the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test was given. Another test, the National Merit Schol- arship, was also available to eligible juniors. The highlight of the junior year came in the spring when the juniors were fitted for their senior rings. This event was the time when all juniors realized that their eleven years of hard work were really worth the effort and that the goal for which they had been striving was in sight.

Sophomores Adjust to Life at West West Mecklenburg offered many challenges to the sophomores who entered West ' s doors for the first time. As they anticipated the experiences awaiting them, sophomores regarded the coming year with hesitation as well as enthusiasm. During the first few weeks, the chief concern of the tenth graders was adjusting to life at West. The foremost prob- lem facing the sophomores was locating the proper classes and arriving there at the proper time. The philosophy of the entire class for those beginning weeks was summed up by the joking remark of one confused sophomore: These are the times that try men ' s soles! Gradually, the strangeness wore away and sopho- mores settled into the routine. The traditional class- es — Biology I, world history, and English II — plus physical education and other electives comprised a busy schedule. The first election for the tenth grade took place late in September as class officers were chosen. In the spring these officers conducted a meeting of the Sophomore Class in order to elect three delegates to serve on the Stu- dent Council Nominating Committee. As the year drew to a close, it appeared that West had once again accomplished its goal for sopho- mores — to prepare them to serve the school with honor and knowledge. The sophomores had learned the rules and regulations and were prepared to wel- come next year ' s sophomore class.

Norwood Patty Gene Linda Doug FROM THE STAFF We, the TOMAHAWK Staff of 1964, shall long remember all the hours that we put into the editing of the 1964 TOMA- HAWK. From the first summer meeting when we met to decide the theme to the day in early March when we sent the dummy to press, we were involved in a never-ending circle of activity — deciding on a layout, drawing up the original dummy, hold- ing elections, making class pictures, taking photographs, writ- ing and editing the copy, typing, and completing all the hun- dreds of other small details which go into making the final annual. Yet with our fine staff of twenty-two members and our advisor, Mrs. Harris, we found each segment enjoyable and most exciting. We awaited the coming of the new 1 964 annual with just as much excitement as you, the student body, awaited it. Several innovations were made in this edition. Twenty-five pages were added to this year ' s annual. New emphasis was placed on the classroom by adding eight pages of curriculum coverage to the faculty section. Hoping to increase athletic coverage, the staff gave an entire page to each minor sport. In the feature section, we endeavored to carry out the theme word honor. Special recognition was given to outstanding club members and to ten outstanding West seniors. We sincerely hope that these two new features will be an honor of which these people may be proud. Running headlines which report the out- standing events of each section were added. Without many helpful and co-operative people, this publica- tion would have been impossible. Special thanks go to Brum- field Studios, our photographers, for struggling with us to meet our deadlines even through the illness of Mr. Brumfield. Thanks also go to Mr. Keck, representative from Observer Printing House, for his co-operation and patience. We owe much grati- tude also to our advertisers, administrators, teachers, and fellow students. With great appreciation we recognize our new advisor, Mrs. Mary Harris. She stood by us every inch of the way and her kind manner was a special guide to each one of us. We shall long recall that sorrowful moment on November 22, 1 963, sixth period class, when Mr. Wright made the an- nouncement that President Kennedy had been assassinated. Since we were in annual at the time of the announcement, we shall remember sharing the shocking moment together. The reverent silence and prayers with which West students and faculty expressed their sorrow will linger always in our mem- ories. We, the TOMAHAWK Staff, put forth our best efforts in creating this yearbook. We sincerely hope the 1 964 TOMA- jU I kj M-oA_ CjLjlci Jt n u , -T p-c-O J-A+ ' J LA 3 £ J)-Ct ui a f-h ion cutoAs HAWK will be an accurate record of all the treasured mo- ' T Y TJL ' l y(AJL ' - - - t - ULsy) ments of 1963-1964 at West Mecklenburg High School.
