John Donne’s idea seems necessary in any healthy personal philosophy. A person tends to become narrow-minded and static if he lives in isolation. Mingling with people of different personalities and backgrounds strongly urges a person to broaden the perspective of his personal views. Indeed, for most people, life’s richest opportunity is seeking to understand and to establish meaningful contacts with other people. People unable to form bridges to other human islands are among the most miserable people alive. West Mecklenburg provides innumerable opportunities for each of its students tovavoid being an island to himself.

Until You Try — SOPHOC LES The essence of any learning, especially learning about ourselves, is personal experience. Perhaps, an ideally developed person would know himself well enough to predict with some certainty his reactions to any situation. To progressively strive for this ideal entails experiencing new situations. When ex- periencing a situation from which he gains self- knowledge, a person becomes wholly engrossed in the situation and completely forgets himself. With- out such immersion and such self-release in a situa- tion, a person does not allow himself to act spon- taneously, He does not allow himself to be himself; therefore, he does not further his self-knowledge. West Mecklenburg provides a host of new ex- periences for each high school student; it challenges each student to lose himself in many activities in order that he may find himself. Climaxing the social, ‘’Winter Wonderland,” is the crowning of Nancy Counts as Miss Tomahawk by Donnie Boyd.

You Must Keep Your Goal in Sight — WITTER BYNNER So that he will not become a static individual, a person determines certain goals toward which he will work and certain values under which he will guide his life. Quite often, goals and values are subtly forced on the individual without his con- scious realization of the coercion. Because he suc- cumbs unthinkingly to environmental influences, a teen-age person may follow certain routines chosen by others. Such a person harms himself by not rec- ognizing his distinctiveness as a product not only of his environment but also of his biological heredity. Since he is unique, the goals and values chosen by parents, school, or some social clique may not be conducive to his development into a healthy indi- vidual. Ultimately, only the person himself can de- cide goals within his capabilities and values mean- ingful to him. Nevertheless, almost every teen-age person needs assistance in determining the goals and values that are right for him. West Mecklenburg provides both the assistance in helping an individual to guide himself and a wide variety of activities from which to choose goals and Being fitted for his 1966 senior ring reminds ; d the junior that his second year at West has in Which to test values. nearly ended. Page 9 Mr. Tucker, one of West’s guidance counselors, watches as Mark Wingate, a junior, takes the Stanford-Binet test. Many psychologists recognize the ability of the human personality to change under influence both from the individual himself and from his environ- ment. Since the individual frequently changes, he should frequently examine the goals and values guiding his life. Perhaps a goal formerly coveted seems less important upon re-examination. Perhaps a value formerly considered indisputably right is not flawless in the light of a new experience. If such changes have occurred in the individual, he should modify his goals and values accordingly. West Mecklenburg provides the atmosphere for self-change and self-improvement; each student of West must provide his own will for change.

Present Opinions — PLATO Symbol of evaluation, the report card represents a relative judgment by others of personal accomplishment. Like many thoughtful teen-agers, Skip Dunnington finds in a book ideas pertinent to problems about which he must decide. Deaths of such great men as former President Herbert Hoover and Sir Winston Churchill tend to cause a student to reevaluate his patriotism and his loyalty to both his school and country.

How- ever, for journalistic reasons the editorial portion of the 1965 TOMAHAWK is divided into five some- what arbitrary sections. West’s reason for being is academic learning; and to better serve this func- tion, its administration, faculty, and curriculum have all been augmented. West was made vibrantly alive by over thirteen hundred active students. Each student wished to pursue certain goals outside the regular curriculum. Therefore, West sponsored a host of extracurricular activities to provide outlets for a large number of individual interests. With many people engaged in activities, there naturally arose competition for recognition of su- periority. Competition invariably resulted in choos- ing certain people as superior. That such choices were made by other humans should mitigate both the satisfaction and the disappointment instigated by the choices. Self-evaluation, not external judg- ments, determine the actual success or failure of the mature person. a Social Committee members Pat Williams, Mary Ann Linker, Andy Spain, and Melvia Bishop prepare decorations for a school dance.

The purpose of the high school curriculum is no longer to offer formal education alone since for many people formal learning has little value. The West curriculum was widened this year by the addition of advanced academic courses like Chemistry Il, advanced biology, French II1, and Latin III and by the addition of |.C.T. and C.0.0., two work-study programs. To present the many courses to an enlarged student body, eleven additional teachers joined the West faculty. i aa og _ fN a, ne i es ee ee ERIE NN RNS Administrative Leaders Conduct Business Necessary MR.

Page 25 Drivers Gain Experience in Drivers Education In co-ordination with their physical education course, students, primarily sophomores, attended drivers’ education class for the first six weeks of school and then transferred to a physical education class. The students participated in physical educa- tion the remainder of the year except for two weeks of behind-the-wheel training. The classwork of drivers’ education teaches the student the rules of the road. The purpose of this segment of the course is to give the student an understanding of a car and the factors that govern his driving it. The purpose of the whole course is to instill in the student a desire to drive carefully and sensibly. The road work allows students supervised Practice in using the knowledge acquired in class. runny RUS e Qscnnot RHS @ SCHOOL BUS s i ae act Embarking on an adventure into the exciting world of motorists are Mr. Keeter, the drivers’ education teacher, and two students. PE Classes Participate in Variety of Sports Physical education is an integral part of the schedule at West. A student is required to take one year of physical education before graduation. The course extends throughout the school year and in- cludes the in-season sports plus a variety of lesser known, but sometimes more enjoyable, games. At the beginning of the year, the boys play touch football and progress through such sports as bas- ketball, volleyball, table tennis, and wrestling, just Crab soccer is one of the many activities and sports in which the boys’ physical education classes participate. Page 26 to mention a few. Each activity is intended to teach the rules and basic movements of a sport and to instill enjoyment and insight into the sport, Starting with speedball and progressing through modern dance, basketball, and softball, the girls at West are given the opportunity to learn and par- ticipate in many games and activities with which they might otherwise be unfamiliar. Another sophomore drives for the basket and for two points in Mrs. Miller’s physical education class. Classes Study Past, Keep Abreast of Current Events Striving to instill in students a greater knowledge of past events and heritages and to investigate the phenomena of consciousness and behavior, our social studies department covers a vast area. Two history courses, United States history and world his- tory, which are required for graduation, and psy- chology constitute this particular field of study. Psychology is the study of human_ behavior. Methods of study include the use of case studies, tests, and evaluations of results in the study of individual human differences. Affording students a comprehensive study of the varied heritage of our country is accomplished by our United States history course. Major phases of study include the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Reconstruction, and the world wars. On the other hand, world history acquainted stu- dents with civilizations in all parts of the world. The Egyptian, Greek, and Roman civilizations; the Middle Ages; the Renaissance; and the world wars are among the areas of study. David Beatty and Betty Joy find the locations on the map of Europe that they are studying in their world history class. ot eee Stimulating a desire to learn more about the heritage and history of America, U. S. history, required subject for graduation, is the conversation between Ray Armstrong and Sandra Abernathy. subject of World geography student Benny Gurley locates the cities and countries that are currently of importance in the news. Page 27 English Prepares for Accurate Communication Communicating accurately one’s thoughts to an- other person requires mastery of his native tongue. Functions of substantives, punctuation, agreement, reference, diction—these and other phases of gram- mar are presented in our English courses because they contain the rules governing the English lan- guage. In English II intensive work on sentence structure, punctuation, and vocabulary prepares the student for the writing which he will be required to do. Sophomores write short compositions at the be- ginning of the year and longer ones during the latter part of the year. English Il emphasizes types of world literature. Such works as Silas Marner, Idylls of the King, and Julius Caesar are read. Sophomore English student Phyllis Warren explains various grammar functions and sentence structures. Jimmy Ashe and Vicky Johnston study Greek mythology, a memorable part of senior English. | J Page 28 Junior English continues intensive study in gram- mar, punctuation and vocabulary. Juniors study the development of literature in America. Beginning with colonial writers, students trace the progress of American literature in relation to the changes that took place as America passed through the phases of its history. Finally, they sample more modern works such as The Red Badge of Courage, Our Town, and In the Zone. Research projects in Greek drama and Greek mythology are undertaken by seniors. In addition, they delve into English literature with emphasis placed on the works of Shakespeare, Milton, and Chaucer. They continue to work with a detailed course of grammar and they write at least one term paper. Miss Browder, a student teacher in Mr. Pearson’s English III class, checks Sandra Teague’s test. In Spanish, Paul Outlaw uses the laboratory equipment, which gives language students an opportunity to practice conversa- tion and pronunciation. Linda Stall, a third-year Latin student, explains a complicated sentence which stresses certain grammatical functions. Language Department Adds Latin III, French III By means of laboratory instruction, visual aids, and classroom instruction, the foreign language teachers of West Mecklenburg gave thorough in- struction in their respective languages. This year they exhibited an improved and broadened curricu- lum. Each language course not only gave instruction in grammar but also provided the students with an adequate background of the language’s history. Such background subjects as history and literature supplemented the direct study of the languages. For the first time Latin and French were offered in advanced third-year courses. These courses af- forded the students a chance to go further into a language and gave them a better background of literature. Two years of Spanish were offered. Latin’s first two years dealt mainly with grammar and translations of selections from Caesar. The third-year course presented translations from Cae- sar, Cicero, Gellius, and other noted Latin scholars. Students in all Latin classes were responsible for a project. Students in the third-year course took time out to discuss the lives of many authors who wrote the material which they translated. They discussed the styles of these authors and the conditions of Rome during the period in which the authors lived. The first two years of French dealt with gram- mar and usage. The advanced course entailed more difficult translations and introduced the students to French literature and French philosophy. The two years of Spanish offered the students an opportunity to obtain an adequate background of grammar and experience in translation. Showing their French projects of artwork are Linda Hutchinson and Helena Hinson. Page 29 One of the major fields of study at West is math- ematics. It is needed not only in many science courses but also for future study and use. Courses suitable for nearly every student are offered. Algebra | and II, by presenting the rudimentary techniques for manipulating and solving algebraic equations, give students both knowledge with in- trinsic value and principles on which to base further algebra study. Rational and irrational numbers, in- equalities, logarithms, and polynomials are a few topics studied in these courses. Since most college-bound students are required to take a year of geometry, this course is important. Logical thinking is a major factor in this more dif- ficult course in which postulates, axioms, and later theorems are used to help solve problems. Students who plan to enter the business field find the course of business math very helpful. In this course fundamental principles of math, which will be of particular help in the business field, are taught. Newly introduced this year, trigonometry and modern algebra provide students with a more ad- vanced and exacting course. It affords a firm and comprehensive background of mathematics.

Bes BSe se aes Page 30 To teach and expose students to the many inter- esting and varied fields of science is what our science department accomplishes. This vast field, covered by the term “‘science,’” ranges from the study of plant and animal life to the phenomena of inanimate matter. Senior science is a fundamental course dealing with the primaries of science. The basic topics in the fields of science are presented and explained. Living organisms dominate study in biology, the study of life. In Biology | the origin, development, structure, and functions of plants and animals are studied. Biology I! deals with biological principles and evidence from the viewpoint of Darwin’s theory of evolution. Because chemistry covers such a vast scope, it is generally divided into two major headings: in- organic chemistry deals with the properties, be- havior, and applications of chemical elements and their compounds, while organic chemistry is con- cerned with carbon-containing substances. Chemis- try | students cover these fields thoroughly through their textbook and by laboratory work. Students in Chemistry || delve even deeper into these topics and perform more difficult experiments in the lab- oratory. Physics, the other science course, deals with phe- nomena of inanimate matter involving no changes in chemical composition. Topics studied include me- chanics, heat, electricity, light, sound, and proper- ties of matter. In Biology I] Jerry Ware and Jerry Hollingsworth argue the possible evolutionary relationship between proteins and DNA, which both have helical structures, Students Explore Unknown in Scientific Fields Demonstrating in physics class a lab concerning different pressures are Worth Springs and Jimmy Allison.

Two years of typing were offered. The first-year course dealt with the instruction of the fundamen- tals of typing. This course served the purpose of teaching the students how to type with speed and accuracy. The second-year course enabled the stu- dents to gain experience in typing the various styles of office material. The two years of shorthand enabled the students to learn the many forms and symbols required of a shorthand expert and gave them experience in tak- ing dictation. Bookkeeping and accounting offered the stu- dents an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of bookkeeping and allowed them to put these funda- mentals into practical use. By means of practice sets and other business forms, the students gained experience in actual usage. In general office practice the students learned to operate with speed and accuracy the various busi- ness machines. This course allowed the students to become familiar with many machines and enabled them to choose more easily a suitable profession. Using earphones in Miss McFarland’s shorthand class enables Marguerite Manning to improve her dictation speed.

Reece Newell, a distributive education student who works at lvey’s, is learning the importance of salesmanship. Mrs. Price explains office techniques to C.O.O. students Phyllis Newton and Marsha Wallace. Vocational Field Adds New Work-Study Programs Old, as well as new, courses constitut ed the vo- cational department at West. Composed of DE. |, Dewi | Gls Il €C.O.O., and: marketing, this specialized field of study contained various pro- grams suitable for many students. Though dissimi- lar in some ways, these programs were alike in that students had to take certain courses, necessary for graduation, along with their specialized training. Distributive education is a work-study program with an objective of preparing young students for a career in business and marketing. Jobs in selling, retailing, wholesaling, and special selling are of- fered to the students. Many times the D.E. students develop an awareness of the need of a college edu- cation for success in business. A joint effort of schools and employers in busi- ness to provide on-the-job training for high school students in occupational areas is the objective of industrial cooperative training. The school furnishes instructors to correlate the technical information in school with that acquired at work. Employers fur- nish on-the-job training to students under actual working conditions. The program of cooperative office occupations is designed for students interested in full-time careers in business upon graduation from high school. It combines on-the-job training and classroom study, to give the participants an opportunity to gain valu- able work experience while still in high school. Explaining the principles of free enterprise in a distributive education classroom is Don Tench. or” FRE ENTER] . Arranging current newspapers and magazines is the responsibil- ity of library assistants Bill Squires and Benny Gurley.

West Offers Students Broad Choice of Electives Mr. Drye explains to Larry Prevette the structure of a cow in connection with dairying, a field of study in agriculture. tee we Ng Page 34 Various courses in the fine arts were offered to interested students. For the first year West’s band became a marching band. Members of the band not only learned marching techniques but also im- proved their musical proficiency. Hours of prac- ticing fundamentals enabled them to participate in the first annual Band Bowl, to march in the Thanks- giving parade, and to perform at several football games. Members of West’s orchestra, which was new this year, drilled on the basics of their instru- ments in preparation for later orchestral participa- tion. Glee Club classes emphasized learning to read music, developing the individual voice, and par- ticipating in choral singing. Christmas programs presented to several schools and participation in the annual glee club competition with other high schools accented the performing Glee Club’s year. Art students experimented extensively in a variety of art media, concentration being placed upon drawing and painting. Girls learned efficient cooking and sewing tech- niques in Home Economics |, II, and III. In family living, students discussed home management and family relationships. To more fully understand certain Bible passages, Julie Rozzelle receives help from Mr. Bone. Barry Gaetano, Danny Canup, and Sandra Lawson cook a variety of foods in family living class. Journalism | and Il explained to students the fundamentals of writing and editing newspaper copy. Publication of the school’s newspaper, the BOW AND ARROW, was accomplished by journal- ism students. Principles of yearbook journalism were studied by the annual staff to aid the members in planning and compiling the 1965 TOMAHAWK. The Bible and its history were explored in Bible | and Il. Working in the library and operating the audio-visual aids machines were responsibilities of students taking library science. In Industrial Arts, techniques in building articles by hand were dem- onstrated, and many articles were constructed. The agriculture course familiarized boys with trees, shrubs, and farm life. How to draw objects to scale was taught in mechanical drawing. Mr. Boone stresses to Jimmy Allison the necessity of accuracy in mechanical drawing. Page 35 See Sea Each person seeks to develop a satisfying way of relating to other persons and of understanding them, as well as of understanding himself. Each of West’s more than thirteen hundred students attempted in differing degrees to find his niche in his contemporary society. Each person being unique, his attempt at seeking his place was also unique. Taken as a whole, these individual strivings for self and for the relation of self to society added up to a vibrantly active atmosphere at West. —_—_— = a — aad a en eS ee Sa a ae OO ——— Senior Class officers —- Ken Hatley, vice-president; Sandra Fredrick, treasurer; Earl Armstrong, president; and Pat McCall, secre- tary, compile final list for invitation and calling card orders. THE SENIOR CLASS As June, 1965, drew closer, seniors realized, perhaps for the first time, that they would never again walk the corridors of West as a high school student. Recollections of all the wonderful memo- ries of high school days and thoughts of parting with old friends brought sadness to many seniors. Memories were nostalgically recalled of cheering the team to victory in a ball game or consoling them in defeat. One of the most exciting moments of the year was the arrival of senior rings. SAT scores elated some seniors but disappointed others. Many memorable occasions included ordering invitations Page 38 and diplomas and electing class officers, superla- tives, and beauties. Among the memories of daily activities were those of changing classes in bustling halls and eating lunch in the crowded cafeteria. The social events before homecoming and at Christmas were special moments for many seniors. The Junior- Senior Prom, which came in the spring, was prob- ably the most anticipated social event of the year. The largest senior class ever to graduate from West, the class of 1965, will long remember these happy memories of days gone by.

THE JUNIOR CLASS Another year and another step toward success was offered to the juniors. They returned to school this year with the anticipation of building stronger foundations and facing new challenges. The year was filled with great opportunity and responsibility of which they proved to be worthy. Selling Christmas cards is an annual project un- dertaken by the Junior Class for the financing of the Junior-Senior Prom. This highlight of the year is held in the spring, and all preparation and planning are the responsibility of the Junior Class as they honor the seniors who are approaching gradua- tion. This year the card sales exceeded those of previous years. Page 68 Many juniors, having begun thinking about their plans for college, took the P.S.A.T. in October. They were given an opportunity to discuss college re- quirements, cost, and standards with the guidance counselors. The choice of careers and professions is perhaps a junior’s most important decision in planning his academic curriculum for his senior year. The thrill of being measured for class rings, cou- pled with the prospect of becoming seniors, made the juniors look forward to their last year at West. Hard work and important decisions made the year a memorable one in every aspect.

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Coming through the doors of West Mecklenburg for the first time, sophomores found many chal- lenging experiences awaiting them. During the first few weeks of school, the tenth-graders began ad- justing to life at West by locating the proper classes and arriving there at the proper time. Sophomores discovered they were not the only students getting lost this year because there were new classrooms in the basement and dressing rooms, and also in a mobile unit. This temporary unit was added to fur- nish more space for students. The sophomores were welcomed to West by a tea sponsored by the Library Club. The first election for the sophomores took place late in September. Page 80 The newly elected class officers conducted a meeting of the sophomore class in the spring, in order to elect three sophomores to serve on the Student Council Nominating Committee. The soph- omore had a busy schedule which included the fol- lowing: English ||, biology, world history, physical education, and two electives. Having formed the largest class in the history of West Mecklenburg, sophomores could look back on a year full of achievement and excitement.

Although the Indians were burdened with a losing football season this year, they created many excit- ing moments. After going scoreless against their first four foes —Harding, South, Hunter Huss, and Gastonia—the Indians finally got on the scoreboard with a touch- down against North Forsythe, a rival single wing team from Winston-Salem. This score created prob- ably the most exciting moment of the season for West spectators. Despite their valiant efforts the Indians lost 21 to 7. On a rain-soaked field the tribe gave full effort but lost to East in a close 12 to 6 battle. In the next game, against North, the Indians fought the tough Rebels to a 20-20 draw. This was the high spot in the scoring department for the Indians. In Asheville it looked as if the Indians were off to their first win of the season with an 82-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Un- fortunately, it was called back due to a penalty; but the Tribe went on to paydirt within the next five plays. The strong Asheville team, ahead by only one point, 7 to 6, at half-time, surged on to defeat the Indians 28 to 12. Page 95 Tailback Kenny Wood passes against East in homecoming game.

After being defeated by Asheville, the tribe was downed by the Garinger Wildcats with a score of 28 to 6. The Mustangs of Myers Park were the last op- ponent of the year for the Indians. In that game the Indians were defeated by the aerial power of the Mustangs 42 to 14. The Indians completed the season with no wins, nine losses, and one tie. Richard Kemp, a graduate of Lenoir Rhyne, joined Gene Abercrombie and Glenn Wilson in the coaching duties this year. Coach Kemp took charge of the Indian backfield and developed several fine backs. The offensive attack of the Indians was sparked by the running of tailback Kenny Wood. Kenny was named to the NEWS All-Mecklenburg team and the OBSERVER All-County second team. David Lazenby, first-string center on offense and leader of the Indians’ defense, was named to the OBSERVER All-County team and the NEWS AIll- Mecklenburg second team. Guards Worth Springs and Bobby Renegar and end Bill Wilson were honorable mentions on the OBSERVER All-County team.

Junior Varsity Experience Must Meet Varsity Test Although showing hard-fighting determination and pursuit, the West Mecklenburg junior varsity football team was unable to tally a victory this sea- son. Lack of depth on the squad hindered the team in overcoming the opponents’ attacks. Coaches Clyde Peek and Ronald Patterson lost to the small varsity squad many key players who filled in gaps left by unwelcome injuries. Toward the end of the season, the junior varsity and varsity teams bene- First Row: Coach Peek, Harkey, Harper, Coach Patterson. Second Row: Byrum, Beatty, Ellis, DeLane, Keener, Strawn, fitted mutually by working together in practice sessions. Since the junior varsity ended its regular season two games earlier than the varsity, the for- mer dressed out for the last two varsity games. Practicing with the varsity enabled junior varsity players to become familiar with West’s brand of football before coming to the varsity team for more rigorous competition. ) } Bethune, sohndyt) Third Row: Wilson, Clark, Watson, Ballard, Cousar, ee Walters, Gayle, Hoare, Stokes, Mann.

Forward Forward Finishing the season with a seven-win and eight-loss conference record, the Tribe never let down in their games or gave up until the final buzzer. Their con- tinuous effort was proved in the 61 to 60 victory over South Mecklenburg. Down by as many as 30 points in the first half and starting guard Dickie McCorkle having fouled out in the second quarter, the Indians fought to within seventeen points at the end of the first half. Steady shooting and a sturdy defense moved the Tribe closer until they finally took the lead and eventually won. Led by forward Don Wherry, scoring 13.5 points a game, the Indians showed enthusiasm, hustle, and desire to win. With Wherry, Spain, and McCorkle averaging in double figures, the Indians averaged over 60 points each game. To add height to the team, Don Eggleston, a 6’8’’ sophomore, was called from the junior varsity. Jeff Prather, Ken Hatley, and Reece Helms added much to the overall attack of the varsity squad. After losing early season games, the varsity be- came stronger and won most of their later games. By pulling out a 58 to 57 squeaker over North and handing Ashley of Gastonia a 53 to 46 upset, the Indians had many exciting, hard-fought, and well- played games this season. In tour nament action the Ms lost to a strong East Mecklenburg team, 90 to 64.

Page 100 Rolling to a six-win and ten-loss season, the junior varsity created some very tense and exciting moments this year. Led by David Brigman scoring 15 points a game, and Danny Brown scoring 13 a game, the team worked together at all times. This teamwork was characterized by passing for the easier shot and helping teammates on defense. Coach Lavon Laye led the junior varsity players in ironing out fundamentals and gaining playing skills that will help them in varsity play next year. With the knowledge and the experience gained from playing, the junior varsity will be able to help future varsity squads. COACHES MOSELEY and LAYE. Disappointing Season Results from Hitting Slump KENNY WOOD and SCOTTIE DELLINGER. Scottie Dellinger slams a triple against Myers Park. Strong defense and weak hitting describe the 1964 baseball team. Kenny Wood and Scottie Del- linger displayed admirable powers on the mound, and the team showed great strength afield. How- ever, at the plate the team had a deficiency, the lack of power being understandable since the bal- ance of the team was juniors and sophomores. A few hits at crucial moments could have given West a crack at the conference championship. Both halves of the season showed West with a 3-4 record, giving us an overall record of 6-9. The importance of strong hitting was shown in the fact that three of the six wins were by one run and five of the eight losses were by one run. Such close games indicated potential which should be realized this year. The Indians’ worst defeat came at the hands of Garinger, 7-3. The teams were tied 2-2 through the first five innings. Opening the sixth with a triple, West failed to capitalize on the breaks; and Gar- inger exploded in the bottom of the sixth for five runs to scalp the red men. There were many high spots for the Indians. One of the most outstanding games was the contest with South which found the teams tied 2-2 after fifteen innings. At Asheville West came through with a 4-3 victory in thirteen innings. In the first game with Garinger the Tribe lost a 1-0 squeaker, despite the three-hit pitching effort of Scottie Dellinger. West being a member of a strong conference, the experience gained by the players will help to produce continued sturdy defense and stronger hit- ting. Having lost only two players, Maurice York and Sandy Davis, through graduation, the team is strengthened at every position by the experience of the returning lettermen.

West had all of these qualifications in the runners on its cross country team. David McCall, usually leading the pack, set a new school record with 11:05 minutes on the West 2.2-mile course. The season began with a meet against Myers Park and Winston-Salem Reynolds in which West finished second. The runners came back in the sec- ond meet with a first-place win against North and Harding. In conference competition West earned two first- place wins and rounded out the season with three first and second-place wins and one third-place standing.

In the district meet Roth- well broke the state record of 14.8 seconds for the 120 yard high hurdles with a 14.3 seconds run. The school scoring record for a single meet was broken when West turned in a 113 to 5 score against Harding. West finished third in the North Mecklenburg Invitational to beat fifth-place Myers Park. West placed fourth in the Western 4-A Meet and fourth in the Piedmont Sectional Meet in which twelve schools participated. Our track team was repre- sented in the North Carolina Junior Olympics.

Skills and Endurance Challenge Tennis Players Playing the game of tennis efficiently requires co-ordination and dexterity. In every match the team participated in single and double matches. Daily court drills conditioned the players for their rugged contests. The 1964 team was composed primarily of boys who had little experience. At the end of last year’s season, the tennis team had Page 106 ROLLINS, MULLIS, DUNNINGTON, and BOWMAN. taken part in fifteen matches of which they had won one, Harding being subdued 5-4. For the con- ference finals netters Gene Miracle and Gene Owens participated in single matches, and Fred Eggleston teamed with Bill Earp in doubles. Returning players this year were Winfred Rollins, Skip Dunnington, Tommy Bowman, and Ronny Mullis. BUDGE EATON. Under the coaching of Kent Moseley, the West Mecklen- burg golf team teed-off in 1964 to its finest season. With the return of experienced juniors and seniors and with the added strength of talented sophomores, the members combined their efforts to form the best golf team that had ever represented West in conference competition. The contributions of junior Earl Armstrong and sophomore Budge Eaton, alternating in the number one position, helped considerably in sparking the team through its numerous victories and helped it in attaining its fifth-place rating in the conference meet. The large num- ber of golfers was significant evidence of the growing interest and popularity that golf has attained in its few years as a participation sport at West.

Bryant Wins in State Wrestling Tournament Every school that the wrestling team met this season was more experienced. In fact, of the twenty boys that composed the team, all but three were beginners in wrestling. Even the seniors who grap- pled this season were novices except for two. Prob- ably the best West matmen who saw action were Richard Cole and Mike Reavis. These boys pinned many of their opponents and decisioned others. Each boy wrestled in his own weight class, which ranged from ninety-five pounds to a heavy-weight class. Referees officated and points were given to the wrestler for certain holds and falls so that a de- cision could be made in case there was no pin. Although there were individual wins, the team rec- ord for the season was no wins and twelve losses. Dickie Bryant, Richard Cole, and Mike Reavis rep- resented West at the state wrestling tournament in Boone. Bryant captured the state crown in the 95- pound class. BOWMAN and S.

MILLER and BLACKWELDER Page 108 On a memorable night in April, 1964, nine girls were awakened from their sleep to the welcomed news that they had been elected to serve as cheer- leaders for West Mecklenburg during the school year, 1964-1965. After being awakened by the 1964 cheering squad, the nine girls attended a pajama party, an event which will probably become a tradition with West’s cheerleaders. To learn new formations and cheers, the girls practiced all summer. Enthusiastically leading these cheers at all football and basketball games, the girls displayed and encouraged good school spirit and good sportsmanship. Among the numerous tasks of West cheerleaders was leading cheers at pep rallies. During Fire Prevention Week, the cheer- leaders followed the yearly custom of riding in the firemen’s parade, Through the cheerleaders’ efforts, the students JANE BRACKETT attending athletic events were able to grasp a Head Cheerleader deeper feeling of school spirit.

After book work of the driver educa- tion course had been finished, the intramural activi- ties moved into full swing with outdoor sports. The boys tackled a modified form of touch football which was both safe and enjoyable. The girls swung into the game of tennis, most of the time being spent chasing stray balls from a misjudged back- swing or serve. Cold weather forced the participants inside where they participated in such sports as crab soccer, basketball, volleyball, speedball, wrestling, and tumbling. Softball and field hockey in the spring ended the year’s activities. Sports, such as intramural! basketball, develop physical poise and co-ordination. Page 110 Calisthenics are an important part of the exerc ises in physical education classes. Crab soccer develops keen competitive spirit and good sports- manship among participants. Volleyball is an important facet of physical education activities at West. Volleyball is an integral part of G.A.A. indoor activities. Girls Acquire Skills Promoting an athletic program that is interest- ing, stimulating, and fitting for high school girls is the purpose of the Girls’ Athletic Association at West. Wholesome competition encourages develop- ment of good sportsmanship and of teamwork. The girls are encouraged to participate in a variety of sports for enjoyment. Sports in which members participated included bowling and swimming once each month. Weekly meetings were spent in practice or in participation in intraclub tournaments. Activities such as basket- ball, track, volleyball, and softball aided in pro- viding a sound athletic program.

Page 111 ORGANIZATIONS Each West student brought w ith him a unique set of goals and interests which he wished to pursue beyond the regular curriculum. To encourage students to pursue together overlapping goals and interests, West sponsored a host of extracurricular activities. Aside from sports, a gamut of organizations provided individuals with such diverse activities as promoting Christmas projects and performing in the Band Bowl. ARDEN HARRIS President Page 114 DAVID ZIMMERMAN Vice-President Student Council Adopts Providing an opportunity for students to develop leadership and responsibility, the Student Council is the center of student government at West. The Council is composed of class presidents, club presi- dents, homeroom presidents, editor and business manager of the TOMAHAWK and of the BOW AND ARROW, head cheerleader, foreign exchange students, Student Council committee chairmen, and the Student Council officers. With its motto, “‘Striv- ing to promote leadership, scholarship, and fellow- ship through unity is our goal,’’ as the foundation, the Student Council strove to promote good school spirit and sportsmanship, to keep good student- faculty relationships, to promote a sound program of extracurricular activities, and to encourage good citizenship.

HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE To emphasize friendly atti- tudes, the Hospitality Committee strove to make new students feel welcome by introducing them to Student Council members. Cre- ating an amicable student-fac- ulty relationship, this committee sent to faculty members get-well cards when necessary and Christ- mas cards. The committee spon- sored a faculty tea and a teacher appreciation day. DEVOTION COMMITTEE To plan a challenging devotion for each Student Council meet- ing was the purpose of the Devo- tion Committee. The committee attempted to fulfill its obligation by offering inspiring devotions relevant to young people in the Student Council. The devotions were given by students and mem- bers of the faculty. Johnny Rickelton, chairman Reid Joyner, and Wayne Stowe combine research and thought-provoking ideas for Student Council devotions. Page 116 CONSTITUTION COMMITTEE Co-chairmen Jeff Prather and Linda Jones worked with Con- stitution Committee members toward establishing a complete Student Council constitution. The committee worded a constitution amendment granting Council membership to committee chair- men appointed by the president. Also this committee mailed cards of recognition to the parents of “A” and “’B” honor-roll students.

Due to the decorations prepared through the committee’s efforts, students and_ faculty dined in a more pleasant atmos- phere in our cafeteria. Perhaps the most important task was pro- moting cleanliness and good eat- ing habits in the cafeteria. Under the direction of Carol Long, committee members—Vinnie Faires, Lillian Vandiver, Larry Harper, and Adrian Bray—-decorate the cafeteria for the Thanks- giving season. Page 118 RECORD COMMITTEE That students wanted records played during lunch was_ indi- cated by a survey conducted by the Record Committee. There- fore, each day during the three lunch periods, records were played in the cafeteria for stu- dent enjoyment. Besides playing records, this committee worked on assembling albums for the record library. Julie Beatty, committee chairman; Judy Aldridge, Patricia Curlee, and Herbie King select records to be played during lunch periods. Student Participation AFS COMMITTEE Informing the student body about the American Field Service program and finding a home for the foreign exchange student were the major purposes of the American Field Service Commit- tee. Activities included sending Christmas cards to former ex- change students at West and aid- ing a West student who recently moved here from South America. Linda Stall searches with Donnie Boyd, Skip Dunnington, and Ray Helms to find the homeland of foreign students corresponding with West students. t EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Consisting of the four Student Council officers and the two fac- ulty advisers, the Executive Com- mittee co-ordinated the activities for the entire Student Council. To plan interesting and worthwhile Student Council meetings was the main objective of this committee which chose the Student Council theme and goals for the year. Evaluating Student Council problems is one responsibility of the Executive Committee.

Like other clubs at West, the Key Club operates under the regulations of the school and draws its membership from the student body. It is uniquely different from the other clubs because it is sponsored by the Char- lotte Kiwanis Club in cooperation with the school. Page 120 The club was responsible for registering and check- ing students’ cars, raising and lowering the Ameri- can flag, and serving as student workers at home basketball games.

Staff members of the paper established the following aims: to produce a monthly paper, to practice good journalistic techniques, to inform students of all important school activities, to pre- sent editorial opinions on subjects concerning school life, and to entertain readers with lively features and humorous articles. Headed by co-editors Char- leen Funderburk and Linda Jones, the paper re- ported club, athletic, and other activities and of- fered special interest articles about West students and faculty. Two features new for this year’s BOW AND ARROW were the stories announcing senior superlatives and Mr. and Miss West. The paper conducted various health surveys and campaigns in keeping with its 1964 health coverage, which re- ceived national coverage.

Such class programs helped to carry out the club theme of promoting at West understanding and appreciation of the customs, literature, and language of Spain and Latin America.

In addition to driving the bus, the responsibilities of the drivers included keeping the buses clean and maintaining order among the passengers. Transportation to concerts given at Ovens Auditorium for elementary and junior high students was another responsibility of the bus drivers. Drivers also had to keep accurate records of the number of students riding their bus each day. To become a licensed bus driver, one must pass a written examination as well as a road fest.

Page 135 Band Provides Entertainment at Football Games The year 1964-65 marked the fir st year West had a marching band, marching lettergirls, and ma- jorettes. Under the direction of William D. Walsh, the band practiced arduously in preparation for their participation in various activities. Lettergirls and majorettes were important mem- bers of the marching band. Although in previous years West had had lettergirls, this was the first year that the lettergirls performed with the band. They, too, were drilled in their routines by Mr. Walsh. The majorettes worked diligently under the instruction of Miss Connie Anderson, a 1964 grad- uate of West. To each band member the first-period practice sessions were times for learning the fundamentals of music. While participating in various events, the band applied this classroom knowledge in providing enjoyment for whomever they entertained. Consist- ing of twenty-two members this year, the band was joined during the football season by members of the Wilson and Coulwood Junior High School bands. Together, these three bands marched in the half- time activities of four games during the latter half of the football season. Other band activities in- cluded participation in the Band Bowl at Memorial Stadium and in the Carrousel Parade on Thanks- giving Day. Musical programs were presented by the West band for the parents and teachers at the February P.T.A. meeting and also for the student bodies of Wilson and Coulwood Junior High Schools in special performances.

Speakers spoke on such subjects as business etiquette and personality development. The F.B.L.A. had two chapters at West. One chapter, the Cooperative Office Occupations, consisted of students who combined classroom study and on-the-job training. The other chapter was composed of regular business students. The chap- ters held separate meetings with comparable programs. A joint project was the care of equipment in the business de- partment. Both chapters prepared baskets for needy families at Christmas.

In addition to these activities, club members gained valuable ex- perience through supervised practice in farming. Discussions and demonstrations aided members in learning modern agriculture innovations. The club encouraged scholarship, leadership, patriotism, and thriftiness among its members.

These students learned selections of popular, classical, and sacred music in preparation for vocal programs presented several times during the year. By means of daily practice sessions, Glee Club participants learned the fundamentals necessary to establish a firm foundation in musical techniques. Each year the entire Glee Club competes with other schools in the district and state contests for vocal ensembles. A special group of students, selected through individual vocal tests, formed a separate ensemble for specific performances in the commun- ity.

Science C lub Puts Special Emphasis on Computers Concentration on one particular phase of science not explored in the classroom guided the programs of this year’s Science Club. Computer science was the phase chosen because of the computer’s in- creasing importance in modern life. Special empha- sis was placed on the fundamentals of logic, the relation between logic and electrical circuits, and the essence of how a computer thinks, Other activi- ties included visiting a full-scale computer and sponsoring the Science Fair as an annual project. As part of their club activity, Skip Dunnington, Donnie Boyd, Jean Eppes, and Charleen Funderburk play WFF ‘N PROOF, a game requiring logic and skill Officers Jimmy Funderburk, Helena Hinson, and Linda Hutch- inson study the game of WFF ‘N PROOF for a club program. Computers being the main interest of the club, Jerry Ware, Terry Schroeder, and Johnny Hager inspect a small one built by a club member. FEATURES With many people engaged in activities this year at West, there naturally arose competition for various awards and recognitions of superiority. Therefore, certain people were chosen to represent West as superior in beauty, scholarship, or character. That such choices were made by other human beings should mitigate the elation or disappointment instigated by the choices. The real success or failure of the mature person is determined by self-evaluation rather than by external judgments. Rya S— opem _— = age on eet ected eeu! ) aN MISS TOMAHAWK Beauty being the basis for selection, Nancy Counts was crowned Miss Tomahawk and Pat McCall, Sandra Fredrick, Donna Todd, Carolyn Lingerfelt, Judy Aderholt, and Judy Small were chosen as her attendants. Since ‘Miss Tomahawk”’ was a new title for the senior beauty, the announce- ment of Miss Tomahawk and her attendants cli- maxed the December Student Council dance. Page 146 AND ATTENDANTS Three girls from each class were nominated to run in the contest. The senior girl receiving the most votes was crowned Miss Tomahawk. The sen- ior attendants were the two seniors who received the next largest number of votes. The other attend- ants consisted of the two girls from the Junior Class and the two girls from the Sophomore Class receiv- ing the most votes from their respective classes. MR. AND MISS WEST MECKLENBURG During the first part of December, every student submitted nominations for Mr. and Miss West. The three girls and the three boys receiving the most nominations were voted on by the entire student body. As a result of this election, Kenny Wood and Sandra Fredrick won the cherished titles of Mr. and Miss West. Kenny and Sandra were both active in serving their school. Besides being chosen ‘’Most Popular,’’ Sandra was also a varsity cheerleader. This year she served as treasurer of the Senior Class, and last year she was secretary of the Junior Class. Being co-captain of the football team and a member of the baseball team, Kenny was voted ‘Most Athletic.’ In addi- tion to his sports activities, he was a homeroom president for three years. Page 147 Ten Outstanding Seniors Display Superiority in Yearly, the TOMAHAWK proudly announces the Ten Outstanding Seniors. To be selected an out- standing senior, one must display admirable quali- ties in leadership, character, and service; and he must have acceptable achievement in scholarship. The high school years of an outstanding senior typify dedicated service to the school and contin- uous application to duty. Representing the ideals of West, these seniors advanced mentally, devel- oped socially, and matured emotionally during their years at West. Through their years of hard work they have increased their self-understanding. DONALD LEE BOYD Donnie Boyd showed energy and enthusiasm in all his activities at West. During his junior year Donnie was active in planning the Junior-Senior Prom. An active member of the Camera Club that year, he was chosen as its outstanding member. Due to his efficiency as assistant business manager for the 1964 TOMAHAWK, Donnie served as business man- ager for this year’s annual. By utilizing promotional announce- ments and posters, Donnie was in great part responsible for the record number of TOMAHAWK subscriptions. CHARLEEN LUCILLE FUNDERBURK Since striving for perfection formed Charleen Funderburk’s goal in any endeavor, West students and teachers knew her to be a person who would unhesitatingly devote to academic or service projects the hours necessary for their successful com- pletion. As a junior, Charleen received recognition as out- standing Latin clubbist due to her efforts in preparation for the Latin Banquet and for the Junior Classical League state convention. As a senior, she fulfilled admirably the BOW AND ARROW co-editorship, which both recognized and challenged her perfectionist tendencies. Page 148 Leadership, Character, Dependability, Service The difficult task of selecting the Ten Outstand- ing Seniors was undertaken this year by a commit- tee comprised of an equal number of student and faculty members. Representing a cross section of their respective classes, four seniors, one junior, and one sophomore composed the student member- ship of the committee. Six faculty members who had been acquainted with a majority of the seniors made up the rest of the committee. The committee nominated twenty-two seniors and then voted by ballot for the top ten. ELLISON JAMES FUNDERBURK, III To learn as much as he could in many fields of knowledge and to go beyond that which was required were goals Jimmy | Funderburk continuously strove to attain. With this strong desire to learn, Jimmy merited receiving the Harvard Book Award, being a National Merit Finalist, and attending Gov- ernor’s School. By placing him in varied positions of leader- ship, such as the editorship of the TOMAHAWK and_ the presidency of the French Club, both faculty and students | expressed their confidence in Jimmy’s abiding dependability, versatility, and sincerity. | | | ; | | MARY ARDEN HARRIS Enthusiasm for meeting people, for working with people, and for helping people characterized Arden Harris. After sophomore and junior year participation in many of West's extracurricular activities, Arden gained the presidency of the Student Council, the most active West Organization. Arden found her niche as council president: in the many committee meetings, she could work co-operatively on projects for her fellow students. As her recipiency of the D.A.R. citizenship award indicated, Arden’s desires to help others were not unfulfilled. Page 149 KEN ALEXANDER HATLEY As shown by his participation in basketball and glee club, Ken Hatley was active in distinctly different phases of school life. His participation in basketball involved dedicated service to the school, many hours in the summer and during basket- ball season being given to practicing. Preparing to participate in glee club state competition also claimed many hours of Ken’s time. Ken, having shown leadership qualities, was chosen by students as homeroom president and as vice-president of the Senior Class. REID LYON JOYNER Reid Joyner exemplifies that segment of today’s teen-agers with moral strength derived from a firm religious background. Reid shared with fellow students many of his religious outlooks on life in Student Council devotions and school devotions. Of greater influence than telling his convictions, however, was living by them in many nonreligious activities, such as Key Club, Latin Club, and TOMAHAWK staff. In keeping with his interests, Reid planned to prepare for the priesthood of the Episcopal Church. JUDY ELIZABETH McCALL In her position as Student Council Social Committee chair- man, Judy McCall felt responsible to each member of the student body to prepare pleasing school socials. This compel- ling sense of responsibility to fellow students motivated her indefatigable school service. Without wide-spread recognition, Judy was one of the hardest workers on the 1964 Junior-Senior Prom. As the first picture editor of the TOMAHAWK, Judy's efficient planning and scheduling of pictures made that ex- perimental position on the yearbook staff a permanent one. c Page 150 TERRY MILTON SCHROEDER Terry Schroeder chose the activities in which he participat- ed in order that he might give them consideration sufficient to gain permanent value from them. Recognizing Terry's dili- gence, school acquaintances chose him wrestling team co- captain, ‘’Most Studious’’ senior, and outstanding Beta club- bist. As the Physics, Biology Il, and Chemistry II in his senior schedule indicated, Terry’s academic interests tended toward science. ‘‘How do they know that?’’ a question frequently on Terry's lips in discussions, indicated his critically serious, yet imaginative, approach to learning. Seniors Display .. . WILLIAM GUILFORD SQUIRES Bill Squires’ gift of mimicry and varied sense of humor was realized fully by West students in his portrayal of Cassius Clay in a 1964 Student Council campaign skit. His humor and ability to make enthusiasm catching had an excellent outlet in his School Spirit Committee chairmanship. As his Bible Club presidency and frequent school devotions indicated, Bill’s ability to be funny and to generate enthusiasm was only an outward facet of a personality of depth and serious purpose. SHARON TERESA YANDLE The trait most characteristic of Sherry Yandle was her sincerity. Being herself at all times resulted in Sherry’s will- ingness to help and her unwillingness to disregard strong con- victions. In both school and church activities, she gave freely her ideas and assistance to projects she considered worthwhile. People valued her opinions—such as her vigorous participation in the BOW AND ARROW’‘s health campaign against smoking —because they realized that what she expressed outwardly corresponded with what she believed inwardly. Page 151 JUNIOR BEST CITIZEN For exhibiting the qualities of a good leader and citizen, David Zimmerman was elected by his junior classmates to represent their class as Best Citizen. During his sophomore year at West, he served as president of his homeroom, as treasurer of the Latin Club, and as a member of the Student Coun- cil and the Key Club. David’s junior year was filled with many responsibilities. He served as vice-presi- dent of the Student Council, as president of the Latin Club, and as a member of both the Junior Council and the TOMAHAWK editorial staff. Rep- resenting Squadron 38 Explorers, David attended the Boy Scout Jamboree in New York and Pennsyl- vania during July of 1964. In church activities he served as president of the Methodist Youth Fellow- ship at Pleasant Grove Methodist Church. David displayed dependability and leadership in school activities as well as in many outside activities. Four Citizens Demonstrate Continuous Good Conducting the Sophomore Class meeting is an important re- sponsibility of Herman Kis tler, Sophomore Class president. Page 152 Handing out programs at a basketball game, David Zimmerman assumes a responsibility of Key Club members. SOPHOMORE BEST CITIZEN Because of outstanding citizenship shown during his sophomore year, Herman Kistler was, elected the Sophomore Best Citizen by his class. The quali- ties of good citizenship and capable leadership were evidenced as he carried out his duties of Sophomore Class president. Being a member of the Student Council and vice-president of his Latin class, Her- man had many responsibilities to fulfill during the sophomore year. In the field of athletics, Herman proved his ability on the football field by playing the position of fullback. Being an outstanding scout in Explorer Squadron 38, Herman did not limit his time to school work and school activities. Having served as a Sunday school class president, he later served as citizenship chairman in his Methodist Youth Fellowship group at Pleasant Grove Method- ist Church. Service and participation in school and community activities were two phases of citizenship displayed by Herman. DAR AWARD Having displayed dependability, leadership, and service both to the school and the community, Ar- den Harris was selected by the faculty as the 1965 recipient of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion Good Citizens Award. This honor is presented to an outstanding senior girl at West each year by the Halifax Chapter of the D.A.R. At a district luncheon honoring the girls receiving this award, Arden received her citizenship pin. Award winners from schools throughout the nation competed for a college scholarship. Besides being chosen ‘‘Best All-Around,’’ Arden served as president of the Stu- dent Council and as features editor of the TOMA- HAWK. She was a member of the Quill and Scroll, Beta Club, French Club, Future Homemakers of America, and Future Teachers of America. During the summer Arden was a delegate from West to Wildacres and to the state Student Council work- shop. D.A.R. school award winner, Arden Harris tours the art gallery at the Charlotte Public Library. Citizenship in School and in Community Activities Because Paul Ramsey displays good citizenship qualities, he is the recipient of the 1965 Civitan Award. CIVITAN AWARD Each year the Senior Class chooses a person who has displayed qualities of good citizenship as the recipient of the Civitan Award. Paul Ramsey re- ceived this award for the 1964-1965 school year from the Charlotte Civitan Club, which presents the Civitan Award annually. During his sophomore year Paul was elected president of the Sophomore Class and Sophomore Best Citizen. Besides serving as chairman of the Constitution Committee, he par- ticipated in the activities of the School Spirit Com- mittee. In his junior year Paul served as vice-presi- dent of the Student Council and as a member of the French Club. He was an active member of the Key Club and maintained an above-average aca- demic record. During his senior year Paul was vice- president of his homeroom and club editor of the TOMAHAWK. Participating in many activities, Paul was chosen ‘’Best All-Around” by the Senior Class. Page 153 After Senior Awards Day is over, each senior realizes that graduation is near and looks forward to the future. AWARDS DAYS Senior Awards Day, class day for the seniors, was held on May 14, 1964, in the gymnasium. Because students from all classes received awards, the theme of Awards Day was ‘Maturing Through Honors.’’ The senior members of the editorial staff of the TOMAHAWK had the responsibility of mak- ing arrangements for the program, compiling the information for the printed program, and hay- ing the program printed. The Junior Marshals had the duty of distributing programs, leading the seniors, and seating all guests. Linda Senter, editor- in-chief of the yearbook, opened the program by welcoming the guests and by presenting the first copy of the 1964 TOMAHAWK to the principal for the school. Special recognition, awards, and college scholarships were presented during the program by school officials and special guests. After a brief speech by Bill Rothwell, president of the Senior Class, the senior members of the Glee Club sang “The Hallstoravyas The purpose of Athletic Awards Day was to rec- ognize an outstanding player in each sport and to present letters, certificates, and awards to students who earned these awards by participating in ath- letic events at West. To earn a letter, one must par- ticipate a certain percentage of the time. Varsity athletes who did not earn letters received certifi- cates. Athletes lettering in the same sport for the second year received silver awards. Gold awards were given to third-year lettermen. Students Receive Recognition for Achievements Being a key member of the baseball team, Steve Keener re- ceives on Athletic Awards Day a varsity letter from Mr. Bolick. Being congratulated by Mr. Wright, Meg Latty receives the science award for outstanding achievement in sc ience. Page 154 Paul Thomas and Jimmy Funderburk, attending Governor's School at Salem College, have superior academic records. GOVERNOR'S SCHOOL The chairman of the Board of Governors of the Governor's School explained the purpose of the School when he said, ‘’To instill and cultivate crit- ical thought; to inspire the desire for deeper and more significant learning; to develop talents, in- tellectual and artistic; to encourage individual ex- pression and initiative—these are the goals of the Governor's School.’’ Two among the four hundred participants in the Governor’s School of North Caro- lina were Paul Thomas and Jimmy Funderburk. Paul and Jimmy spent eighteen hours each week in their major area of mathematics; four hours a week in a class entitled Essential Ideas; and four hours a week in the experimental class called Self and Society. West’s two students had the rare oppor- tunity to thrash out with teen-agers of quite differ- ent backgrounds ideas in such areas as religion and social behavior. An introduction into the founda- tions of mathematics, as well as lectures by out- standing teachers and scientists, constituted the mathematics course. Since students received no grades at the Governor's School, they felt free to enjoy themselves in recreation or to study after regular classes. A full agenda of performances by students in the performing arts and of organized recreational activities complemented the conversa- tions and games that arose spontaneously in the relaxed, but enthusiastic, atmosphere. Two Senior Boys Merit Valuable Opportunities NATIONAL MERIT FINALIST On March 13, 1964, the National Merit Scholar- ship Qualifying Test was given at West Mecklen- burg under the supervision of Mr. William G. Tucker, guidance counselor. Students taking the test had been encouraged to review a pamphlet given to them several weeks prior to the test. Being very helpful to the students, this pamphlet listed sample questions from every phase of the test. The test was divided into five parts —- English usage, mathematics usage, social studies reading, natural sciences reading and word usage. When those stu- dents who took the National Merit received their scores, they also received a handbook which aided them in understanding the significance of their scores. The handbook also presented helpful infor- mation about making future educational plans, about choosing and applying to a college. National Merit is a nation-wide program at- tempting to find able students and to provide them with college financial assistance in the form of scholarships. This program is open to any second- semester junior or first-semester senior who feels he can benefit from the program. Qualified finalists are considered for National Merit Scholarships by a committee composed of col- lege admissions directors and high school guidance officials. Jimmy Funderburk was the only National Merit Finalist at West this year. Besides the Na- tional Merit test scores, the committee also con- siders high school grades and _ extra-curricular activities. National Merit Finalist Jimmy Funderburk glances through one of the many college brochures which help students in making college decisions. Page 155 One of the most exciting phases of the school year was the Student Council election. Each home- room submitted to the nominating committee a nomination for each Student Council office. After studying the qualifications for Student Council offi- cers, the nominating committee presented a slate of candidates to the student body. Campaign week —a week filled with fun, excitement, and work— then began. When the campaign managers were chosen and the campaign committees were formed, the plans for each candidate’s campaign were started. The Student Council enforcing campaign rules, each committee worked within certain finan- cial and procedural limits. Working almost every afternoon and night, the campaign committees searched magazines for interesting pictures to use on posters, painted enormous signs to put on the roads leading to the school, devised original and catchy campaign slogans, and prepared colorful campaign tags for the students to wear at school. Near the end of the week, the committees began thinking of campaign skits and the candidates be- gan writing their campaign speeches for the cam- paign assembly. After a week of untiring and de- voted committee work, election day finally arrived. After the results of the election were tabulated, the i | new Student Council officers were announced to the (| : student body over the intercom. ti ; : See At the end of campaign week, Arden Harris, a candidate for president, gives a speech before the student body.

Page 156 Rivieras Provide Music for Two School Socials “War Party,’’ a Student Council dance during Homecoming Week, helps boost school spirit. Approximately four hundred people enjoy dancing and listen- ing to the music of the Rivieras in ‘‘Winter Wonderland. ”’ Just before the announcement of Miss Tomahawk, the Tray- elers Three entertain the students with Christmas carols. Striving to fulfill the responsibilities placed upon it by the student body, the Social Committee of the Student Council planned and sponsored two socials during the first semester. Proving to be successful due to increases in attendance and profit over pre- vious years, these dances provided an opportunity for fellowship among students as well as for a build-up in participation at school functions and in school spirit. “War Party’ being the theme of the first dance, which was held on October 15, 1964, an appropriate atmosphere was provided for the homecoming sea- son, Participation in dancing stretched toward a new height due to the music of the Rivieras. Faculty and student skits, in which each group demon- strated annoyances of the other group, composed the entertainment. Homecoming candidates, foot- ball sponsors, and football players were introduced as a preview of homecoming activities. With the arrival of the Christmas season came the year’s second social, entitled ‘“Winter Wonder- land,’ on December 17, 1964. Music for dancing was again furnished by the Rivieras. Christmas music and folk songs by the Travelers Three of West composed the entertainment. Highlighting the evening was the introduction of candidates for Miss Tomahawk, the selection of two attendants from each class, and the crowning of Miss Tomahawk. Page 157 Future Leaders Acquire GIRLS’ STATE Tar Heel Girls’ State was held on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro for one week during the month of June. Participating in elections and hearing lectures on democracy, government, and American freedom occupied most of the time of the delegates. At the conclusion of the week, the girls toured many points of interest in Raleigh. The seven girls from West were selected to attend Girls’ State because of their outstanding attributes of citizenship, leadership, dependability, and honesty. Serving as delegates to Girls’ State, Dunn, Merritt, Bishop, Pursley, Cooper, Watson, and Yandle (not pictured) stay for a week at Greensboro. BOYS’ STATE During the second week of June, three boys from West attended the American Legion-sponsored Boys’ State on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. From all over the state, boys who exemplified integrity and depend- ability and who showed an interest in civic affairs attended the meeting. Through elections the par- ticipants gained a greater knowledge of the purpose and management of local, state, and federal gov- ernments. Lectures on democracy also helped the boys understand our government.

This inspirational conference, sponsored by the Civitan Clubs of North Carolina, was held near Little Switzerland, North Carolina, on the estate of Dr. and Mrs. |. D. Blumenthal. ‘“Therefore, Choose Truth’’ was the theme of the conference. Arden Harris and Ken Hatley represented West at Wild- acres. The delegates at Wildacres elected Arden “Most Congenial”’ and Ken ‘Best Hiker.” Page 158 New Ideas from Meetings FHA COUNTY PRESIDENT An active member of the West Mecklenburg Fu- ture Homemakers of America, Laura Smith served as President of the Mecklenburg County F.H.A. Last summer she attended the F.H.A. national con- vention in Chicago, Illinois. The Mecklenburg County Convention being at West, she had the re- sponsibility of planning the meetings and being of- ficial hostess. Laura, hospitality chairman of the Student Council. used the skills that she acquired in three years of home economics to plan a faculty tea and Teachers’ Appreciation Day, Gray, Hatley, Funderburk, Armstrong, Drye, Schroeder, Thomas, and Joyner serve as Junior Rotarians during the year. FTA COUNTY PRESIDENT Presiding over the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Future Teachers of America Club was a challenging ex- perience for president Allen Lane, an active mem- ber of the F.T.A. at West. Deciding where the meetings were to be held and encouraging com- mittees to complete their work were an important part of his responsibility. Representing the county, Allen attended the state F.T.A. workshop at Greens- boro in November. Allen served as president of the F.T.A. at West last year and served this year as parliamentarian. Laura Smith, being county president of Future Homemakers of America, goes to Chicago to attend the national convention. JUNIOR ROTARIANS Eight Junior Rotarians represented West at the weekly luncheon meetings of the Dilworth and Charlotte Rot ary Clubs. Because of their qualities of scholarship and leadership, the boys were chosen by the faculty as representatives from West to these luncheon meetings. Each Rotarian met for one month, on either Tuesdays or Fridays, with his spon- soring club. The purpose of the meetings and the Programs was to acquaint the boys with the de- mands and opportunities of the business world. Serving as president of the Mecklenburg County Future Teach- ers of America, Allen Lane conducts a county meeting. Page 159 Students Elect Two Beauties from Senior Class CARROUSEL PRINCESS SANDRA FREDRICK One highlight in a year of many activities was the selection of West’s Carrousel Princess. Nomina- tions for this title were submitted by the student body. The names of the three girls receiving the most nominations were presented for final voting. Sandra Fredrick was chosen to represent West in the Carrousel Parade for the second consecutive year. The festivities in which Sandra participated included riding in Charlotte’s annual Carrousel Parade and attending the Royal Society of the Knights of Carrousel Coronation and Ball. Page 160 HOMECOMING QUEEN PAT KING At half time of the East game, the moment ar- rived for the identity of the 1964 Homecoming Queen to be revealed. The announcement was made that Pat King, sponsored by the Future Teachers of America, was queen. The crowd’s tremendous ap- plause showed its approval of this selection that had been determined by a student vote. Pat smiled radiantly as the co-captains of the football team crowned her Homecoming Queen and presented her an arm bouquet of red and white carnations. Each girl who represents a club in the homecoming court is given an arm bouquet of white chrysanthemums tied with maroon ribbons to signi fy our school colors. Homecoming, one of the most colorful events of the football season, was held on October 16, 1964. School spirit was at its peak, and excitement filled the air. The crowd, waiting with suppressed excite- ment, watched the attendants parade down the center of the field to await the announcement of this year’s queen. This year for the first time, clubs sponsored candidates for Homecoming Queen. From these eleven girls the student body chose the Home- coming Queen and her court. The homecoming court and their sponsoring clubs were as follows: the Girls Athletic Association sponsoring Pat McCall, the Key Club sponsoring Nancy Counts, the Library Club sponsoring Linda Haskett, the Camera Club sponsoring Pat Jackson, the Cooperative Office Occupation Club sponsoring Myra Rogers, the French Club sponsoring Patricia Curlee, the Spanish Club sponsoring Carol Reagin, the Latin Club sponsoring Dawn Bradley, the Red Cross Club sponsoring Jane Austin, and the Future Homemakers of America Club sponsoring Donna Todd. Colorful Festivities Add Sparkle to Homecoming To begin the homecoming festivities, sponsors and their escorts were introduced as they walked to the center of the Memorial Stadium field. Senior football players select girls each year to be sponsors at the half-time entertainment of the homecoming game. This year for the first time the senior players and their sponsors were introduced at a homecom- ing dance. The senior football players and their sponsors were as follows: Nancy Hunter for Worth Springs, Carolyn Lingerfelt for Kenny Wood, Linda Over- cash for James Mashburn, Libby Austin for David Lazenby, Sherry Husband for Bill Wilson, Lynn McClure for Dennis Latour, Georgia Rogers for Don Gray, Nancy Lylerly for Larry Tackett, Patsy Burgin for Bobby Renegar, and Rae Cowan for Winfred Rollins. Just before the half-time festivities, each girl, sponsoring a senior football player, and her escort await the time they will be introduced to the crowd. Superior Clubbists Personify Participation Many clubs offered to the student the oppor- tunity to pursue and to develop his particular inter- ests, talents, and hobbies. Through these opportuni- ties students became acquainted with other students and faculty members. Students were encouraged to carry out their own ideas and to develop new in- HEIRESS. Since the club president often receives recogni- tion, the TOMAHAWK seeks to give recognition to additional outstanding club members. One member of each club who actively participated in club activi- ties and who rendered service and leadership to the club is recognized by the 1965 TOMAHAWK as the outstanding club member for the year. All mem- bers except the club president were eligible for this honor. The decision was made by the faculty adviser of the club. Participation, service, leadership, and dependability were factors considered in the se- lection of these outstanding clubbists. Representing the Science Club, Helena Hinson places a long WFF on her WFF ‘N PROOF playing mat. Dawn Bradley, vice-president of the Spanish Club, makes a pinata to be used at the Spanish Fiesta. Vicki Stalder, who is treasurer of the Distributive Education Club, works at Wachovia Bank. Paul Thomas, an active member of the Bible Club, gives a de- votion at the beginning of Bible class.

Page 165 Having the highest scholastic averages of the Junior Class, Betty Blythe and Joyce Davis serve as Chief Marshals. Intense work and study proved to be rewarding to ten juniors not only in achieving self-improvement but also in receiving honors. Being chosen Junior Marshal was the honor which was bestowed upon these ten juniors. The selection of the Junior Mar- shals being based entirely on academic standing, the ten juniors with the highest scholastic averages were chosen. From the ten juniors who were chosen, the two students with the highest averages were designated Chief Marshals. The primary responsibility of the Junior Marshals was to serve the school by assisting seniors at all activities which honored the graduating class. The first activity in which the marshals participated was Senior Awards Day. Guest speakers and seniors par- ticipating in the Senior Awards Day program were led to their seats by the Chief Marshals. All senior homerooms were escorted by the other marshals. Distributing programs and ushering seniors were the duties of the marshals at the graduation exer- cise. Due to the marshals assistance, this climaxing moment for the nervous and excited seniors ran smoothly. The responsibility which accompanied the honor of being chosen a Junior Marshal was met by these students through their serving at events which hon- ored West’s 1965 seniors. Juniors with Highest Averages Serve as Marshals Janet Gibson, Vija Teilans, Skip Joyner, Jay Kistler, Mark Wingate, Linda Gray, Meg Latty, and Shayne Arrowood — these juniors serve as Junior Marshals. Page 166 Students, Guests Dance ‘In a Little Dutch Garden’ At Park Center couples enjoy dancing and listening to the music of Billy Knauff and his orchestra at the Junior-Senior Prom, honoring the graduating class. As soon as the school year started, the Junior Class began the Christmas card project to earn money for the Junior-Senior Prom. The types of Christmas cards varying, each student in the Junior Class worked to sell as many boxes as possible. After the beginning of the second semester, a com- mittee of juniors met at the home of Mrs. Frances Ross, Junior Class adviser, to decide on the theme and to make definite plans for the Junior-Senior. “In a Little Dutch Garden” being chosen as the theme, different committees were formed to carry out this theme. Committees worked enthusiastically and diligently from the time the theme was chosen through the day of the prom. Students working on the prom were divided into these committees: invi- tations, programs, floor decorations, stage decora- tions, table decorations, balcony decorations, enter- tainment, entrance decorations, and props and lighting. On May 1, 1964, approximately six hun- dred people danced to the music of Billy Knauff and his orchestra. Being the main attraction, a windmill, sur- rounded by flowers and a picket fence, centered the ballroom. Because Holland is well known for its many bodies of water, sailboats decorated the s tage. Hundreds of brightly colored tulips gaily decorated the balcony and tables at the Park Cen- ter. A colored fountain decorating the refreshment table, each student enjoyed refreshments prepared by a catering service. After the refreshments were served, the program began. Earl Armstrong, presi- dent of the Junior Class, welcomed everyone to this annual social highlight for all juniors and seniors. Next, the president of the Senior Class, Bill Roth- well, expressed appreciation to the Junior Class for honoring the seniors and inviting them to the prom. Following these speeches, Eddie Clinton sang ‘’Tip- Toe Through the Tulips’’; and eight students per- formed a tap dance entitled ‘‘Wooden Shoes.’” Just before twelve o’clock, everyone participated in the grand march; and each girl received a flower as a keepsake of the prom. Everyone at the prom re- ceived a memory book.

From the countless number of year-book themes available, ’’Know Thyself’ was chosen as the unifying thread around which to tell the West story for the year 1964-1965. This choice was made because of its pertinancy to the ‘life of every person attending West. Certainly, ‘Know Thyself’ pertains to ‘life beyond the high school level. The clearer our image in the stream of life while in high school, the surer will be our ability to cope with the subtle, dangerous challenges in the stream of life beyond high school.
