In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence: The glory of action, The bliss of growth. The splendor of beauty. For yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision; But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day. —Author Unknown ‘For it is the very life of life ' Taking advantage of free bus transportation, Billy Baucom and Alfred Deese disembark to begin their daily routines.

V Tile underclassmen still look forward to high school “days,” seniors look to the horizon of higher education or employment. Today is the r’ery life of life: influenced by yesterday, it helps determine tomorrow. Realizing this fact and putting forth unlimited personal efforts will insure self- satisfaction on behalf of the student. Contrarily, in- adequate consideration of today may be indicative of a squandered lifetime. Experts demonstrate to physical education classes the necessity of concentration in learning karate techniques. ' In its brief course lie all the verities and realities Each day that passes becomes a small but vital com- ponent of one ' s life. Rather than anticipate the close of a day, students should realize the potential within it and stri ' e to their utmost to make the day fruitful. Each day is one’s own; to squander it is to lose a per- sonal possession. Just as a fallen leaf is caught by the wind and carried to an undetermined fate, apathetic students find them- selves en ’eloped by the rushing winds of life without a goal towards which to strive. It is necessary to greet each dawning day with renewed determination and a goal in mind in order to fulfill the e xpectations of that day. To omit a single day from any person’s life would be to alter every day thereafter in his life. As insignifi- cant as it may seem, each day makes existence a reality. Tomorrow is an intangible dream; today, a vital truth. Enjoying life from day to day assures a progression of pleasant verities. Through a never-ceasing chain of new experiences, one gains int ' aluable knowledge and comprehension of life’s complexities. Dwelling upon past events of yester- day will never alter them; however, knowledge gained through experience may render tomorrow more produc- tive. Missing a test question or committing an embar- rassing “faux pas” usually prevents the incident from recurring. Having prepared the ingredients, Home Economics 11 student Annie Anderson mixes the components of a small fruit cake. Mecklenburg County students enjoyed an unexpected vacation in January as snow made hus transportation dangerous.

Aii’erf students gaze at the majestic chief donated by the 196T1965 cheerleaders to keep vigil over West tribesmen. llie verities and realities of each day are different for each student. I low ' ever, en’eryone faces problems, of which the solutions affect his entire existence. “This day” has held unique experiences and problems for each student. By meeting the challenges with relentless efforts and undaunted spirits, students may envision tomorrow with hope and dream of yesterday with contentment. Through narrative pictures and informati ' e copy, the Tomahawk staff endeavored to capture the glory of action, the bliss of growth, and the splendor of beauty and compile them into an exciting, cherishable yearbook. They hoped to create a book which would retain “this day” as a memorable reality. School spirit surging to great intensity, Mr. Freeman sells Alice Sadler a ticket for the Myers Park basketball game. Page Seven of Action In striving to produce well- rounded students, W ' est endeavored to stimulate growth not only through scholastic achievement but also through participation in acti ' ities. More than twenty oroanizations , O pro ' ided a means of developing every student’s talents or particular interests. Organized competitive sports, physical education classes, and the Girls’ Athletic Association were outlets for friendly competition and phvsical development. ACTIVITIES Council Sponsors Christmas Semijormal Dance LInderstanding that the members would have to work diligently during the year to attain the high goals set for them, the Student Council adopted the theme “Climb Every Mountain.’’ The signihcance of the theme was shown in the representation of goals as mountains. Each council member was presented with a challenge: to scale the mountains of school spirit, scholarship, citi- zenship, participation, and fellowship. As its primary purpose the council co-ordinated stu- dent actirities and serx’ices. Secondly, it developed leadership and responsibility of its members. Through projects and actirities the council rendered its service as an instrument of the student body. Each West stu- dent is represented by one of the council ' s members. Class presidents, twelve committee chairmen, club presidents, council officers, homeroom presidents, and the editors and business managers of the Tomahawk and the Bow and Arrow constitute the Student Council. Activities and projects included sponsoring three socials. Youth Appreciation Week, club recognition, and an orientation program and sending Christmas cards to soldiers in Vietnam. Committees, which were com- posed of interested student body members, carried out projects such as Rip-the-Ram Tek, the Student Abroad program, and the Christmas door decoration contest.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE Strix ing to fulfill the responsibilities placed on it by the Student Council, the Social Committee planned the three school socials. To execute its duties more efficiently, the committee dix ' ided into txvo main subcommit- tees. One subcommittee arranged for the bands to provide music and for the intermis- sion entertainment. The other subcommittee planned and purchased the refreshments and serx’ed them during the intermission. All committee members co-operated to make the decorations and xx ' ere responsible for helping to put them up. After the socials, xvhen the other students had left, committee members stayed to take doxvn decorations and clean up the gym, putting it in order for classes the next day. SCHOOL SPIRIT COlMMLlTEE Under the leadership of committee chair- man Bob Werth, School Spirit Committee members strove to boost spirit to a greater level and to better sportsmanship among the stu- dents. By means of announcements over the public address system, posters, and signs, the committee informed the student body of all athletic events. To increase school spirit among the students, committee members as- sembled booster tags, which were sold at school throughout the year, and shahies, which were sold at football games. Other ac- tivities of the School Spirit Committee were decorating Memorial Stadium for all football games, helping with the decorations for the homecoming game and festir ities, and deco- rating the gym for all basketball games.

Comprised of second year newspaper journalism stu- dents, the Bow and Arrow staff wrote news and sports stories, features, and editorials to keep the student body well informed of current school acti ’ities. Staff members began work in the summer selling ads and continued work- ing throughout the year, editing eight issues of the news- paper. During the year the Bow and Arrow undertook two major campaigns. Early in the year the paper competed in a nationwide health contest sponsored by the Tuberculosis Society. In conjunction with this contest, the paper printed set’eral articles on emjihysema and conducted a poll through- out the school on smoking. Then, the week of February 14-18, the newspaper initiated a campaign promoting safety. Mike Comhs, Roberta Brown, and ISlaucy Lyerly construct posters during the safety campaign.

Page Twenty-one Snow Fails to Hal Betty Blythe Marsha Springs Eilitor-iu-Cliief Assistniit Editor Allowing nothing to impede their progress, members of the Tomahawk editorial staff were determined to create a yearbook which would meet the high standards of past award-winning annuals. In the fall editors and assistants made plans, revised plans, and sometimes re- vised again. Unexpected holidays created by winter snows found staffers at school working steadily, though constantly plagued by a fear of such terrible terms as “deadlines” and “dead headlines.” After months of fren- zied activity, however, the 1966 Tomahawk finally went to press, and staff members could only await the return of the yearbook in which they had endeavored to fully tell the West High story.

Page T iventy-txvo Tomahawk Editorial Staff Starting during the summer and continuing through No ' emher, the business staff solicited ads from business firms to provi de funds to publish the 1966 Toriahaw ' k. Later during the school year, members of the business staff took subscriptions for the annual. Soliciting names for the booster page of the Tomahawk was also a project of the business staff. Since the staff was responsible for the layout of the advertising section, members began planning the layout after all ads had been turned in and recorded. After this layout was combined with the editorial layout, the annual was sent to press and the business staff began preparations for next year.

It is the purpose of the Quill and Scroll Society to honor those students who exhibit out- standing achiet ' cment in fulfilling their responsibilities as members on either of the annual ' s two staffs or on the newspaper’s staff. iMembers, who are tapped into the club each year during the month of March, must ha ' e serced for at least one year on a journalism staff and must rank in the upper third of their class in general scholastic standing. Through the Quill and Scroll, mem- bers are encouraged to consider a field in journalism as a possible profession.

Club Celebrates Latin Week with Roman Banquet Comprised of all students taking a Latin course, the Latin Club promoted an interest in and appreciation of the Roman civilization. Club members were responsible for individual projects which pertained to the ancient Roman culture. These projects helped promote a better understanding of the classical way of life and the effect which the Roman culture has on life today. During North Carolina Latin Week, these projects were dis- played, and the members participated in a Roman Ban- quet. Members also attended the state convention held in Chapel 1 lill in the spring.

Business Tours Prove Valuable to Club Members As a Christmas project the Commercial Club spon- sored a campaign to collect food for needy families. The many posters displayed throughout the school were effec- ti ' e reminders to students and faculty of the need for donations. Several tours of various business establishments were planned for the spring. During these tours students gained an insight into business operations which proved of value to them. Designed to aid students who have planned a business career, the Commercial Club promoted interest in processing and other related careers. Students gained experience and expanded their qualifications for a busi- ness career. The Commercial Club acquainted students with business situations and helped prepare them to handle these situations. Members acquired helpful knowledge concerning the business world and its numer- ous opportunities. To be a member of the club, a stu- dent must have at least two business courses. 1 Idlcomb, Kuistler, Eaton. Third row: Green, Arnold, A ' ard, Campbell, Stikeleather, Starnes, Shirlen, Helms.

Fair, Movies, Trips Create Interest in GRAM For the first time in its history, the science cluh adopted an official name and emblem. Members named the chib Group for Research of Atoms and Microbes, commonly called GRAM by its members. Serving as a means for students to further their scien- tific knowledge, the science club attempted to promote an interest in science within the student bcxly. To aid students in this undertaking, as one of its projects for the year, the club sponsored the school science fair in which any interested student could participate. By field trips and weekly movies, members were able to broaden their understanding of scientific processes and phenomena. Also, the club encouraged its members to consider the various fields of science when they began choosing their vocations. Virst row: Powell, S.

Page Forty-two Most Active Clubs Receive Outstanding Club Award To strengthen student participation in clubs and to increase club activity, the Student Council sponsored a club award program. Through this program an out standing club was selected for each quarter of the school year, and from these clubs a Club of the Year was chosen. Club presidents were provided forms on which they listed club activities and projects undertaken within a nine-weeks’ period. These forms were then submitted to the Executive Committee of the Student Council u ' hich judged them and decided which club merited the club award. All clubs were eligible for consideration, and each strove to attain the honor of being chosen an outstanding club.

Indians Streak by Huss in Mid-Season Game 19 to 0 Season practice began August 15 with 50 anti 100- yard clashes; drills to measure agility, speed, and endur- ance; and the routine of calisthenics. New players up from junior high school teams encountered detailed plays and positions for the first time, while veterans brushed up on pass patterns and blocking assignments which they soon recalled in the comprehensive meetings termed “skull” sessions. In the first game of the season, the 1 larding Rams defeated the Indians at Memorial Statlium on September 9 in a hard fought 21 to 0 battle. South, West’s second rival, trimmed the Indians to a 41 t(r 7 victory after West scored its first touchdown of the season. Ray Miller, recovering a fumble, set up the first touchdown for the tribe in the Catholic Cougars game, in which the Cougars won 13 to 6. In the next game the Eagles of East defeated the Indians 20 to 7. At Memorial Stadium, October 23, North skunked the Indians 27 to 0 in the West homecoming game.

Defense Plays Key Role in Junior Varsity Season Linder the coaching of Clyde Peek and Ronald Pat- terson, the junior varsity Football team fought its way to one of its best seasons. The little Indians finished the season witli a 6-3 record. Although the squad’s offensive ability shone, defense played the key role for the junior varsity. The Indians averaged almost eighteen points a game. In their first game the junior varsity squeezed by Myers Park 7 to 6. After trouncing Harding 49 to 0, the little Indians went on to beat South and Charlotte Cath- olic. Gastonia Ashley ended the Indians’ four game win- ning streak with a 19 to 6 win. Briefly the Indians got back on the winning trail with a 32 to 7 win over 1 lunter Huss. In the next game East outplayed the tribe in a tough 7 to 0 battle. After the loss to East, the Indians lost to the Rebels of North but came back to finish the season with a 7 to 6 win over Caringer. Breaking away from a tackier, Tommy Payne races down field for extra yardage. With the goal line in sight, Eddie Allen tarns on a hurst of speed to score against Hunter Huss.

Page Fifty David Brigman David Straw ' n Don Eggleston Mike Combs Don V herry Indians Place Second in Conference Tournament Coached by Kent Moseley and keyed by determina- tion, the Indians shot to the best season West has ever had in basketball. Sparked by the shooting skills of Don Wherry and Don Eggleston, the tribe raced to second place in the conference tournament. Starting the season with Anson Senior High, the tribe lost by one point after a spontaneous fourth quarter effort. Conference play did not begin until December 7 with Harding. The Indians’ potent offense and effective de- fense proved too powerful for the Rams. On December 10 West slipped by Hunter Huss for another conference win. December 17 found East and West competing for a first place standing with Myers Park. The tribe led most of the game but lost its lead late in the game. Easing by North and South, the Indians encountered Myers Park. Battling for a victory, the Indians were un- able to catch the Mustangs. On January 21 Garinger and the tribe exchanged baskets for most of the game, but the costly mistakes of the Indians allowed the Wildcats to win. Beginning with Harding, the Indians went into a seven game winning streak to improt ' e conference stand- ing. yVfter losing to Myers Park and Garinger again, the Indians came back to beat Hunter Huss and Garinger to become runners-up to Myers Park in the conference tournament and to become one of the conference rep- resentatives in the state tournament.

Page Sixty-one Before participating in vigorous physical activity, physical education classes take calisthenics, an important part of intramural activities. Intramurals Stimulate Interest Amonq PE Classes o Drills help develop skill in different phases of haskethall. Competition among teams in physical education classes stimulates interest among the students. By participating, the student learns to cope with the joys of victory and the disappointments of defeat. Besides giving the stu- dent a co-operative and competitive spirit, intramurals prot ' ide practice in the skills of each sport while the students are having fun participating. Competing with other students helps the student learn the basic skills of the game being played under actual game conditions. Each student has an opportunity to develop skills in a wide variety of sports activities. These activities include touch football, basketball, softball, track and field, wrestling, volleyball, crab soccer, and field hockey. Intramural sports, such as volleyball, develop physical skills and co-ordination. Wrestling is a strenuous sport that provides good competition in intramurals. Page Sixty-two State Playday in High Point Becomes Goal of GAA Governed by an official constitution, tire Girls’ Ath- letic Association provides the only opportunity outside of physical education classes for girls to participate in sports. Prerequisite for memhership is earning twenty-five points from outside activities such as bicycling and hik- ing. Supervised by Mrs. Penn, the girls mastered the skills of fast-moving field hockey. Participating in an inter- scholastic volleyball tournament, girls worked together as a team. Striving to earn points created enthusiasm in the bowling tournament. As a reward for their efforts, many of the club mem- bers made the exciting trip to High Point either to par- ticipate in events or to cheer for their team in the North Garolina G.A.A. Playday.

Use of a new over-head projector and other ’isual aids enabled the instructors to give a graphic explanation of life’s intricacies. For a specialized study of life, one has the opportunity to take a second-year course. This course is designed to help the student obtain an understanding of science as a vigorous interaction of facts and ideas. Study of matter’s various properties is the main pur- pose of Chemistry I. Laboratory work and visual aids help to enrich the course of study. Second-year chemistry offers an opportunity to study chemistry in greater detail. More emphasis is placed on laboratory experience and individual initiative. Physics is a study of the physical properties of matter. By observations made during experiments, the student is able to obtain a graphic representation of the properties and is able to predict reactions when these properties are exposed to various reactants.

THE SENIOR CLASS Excitement was at its jieak for upperclassmen when senior rings arrived on the day of the anticipated West- I larding football game. Ordering calling cards and in- vitations on November 5, 1965, made seniors cognizant of the fact that graduation was no longer a far-away dream but was a rapidly apjiroaching reality. Taking the college board examination in preparation for college was a memorable occasion for many seniors. Frequent trips to the guidance olhee were made by those seniors seeking advice about vocational choices. College-bound seniors faced the decision of selecting colleges at which to further their educations. Participating in distributive education or commercial courses enabled other seniors to prepare for their futures through the school ' s work program. Among the most thrilling memories to seniors were those of attending the athletic events. Nothing made a senior prouder than shouting, “ ' -I-C-T-0-R- , that ' s the SENIORS ' battle cry! during a pep rally or hall game. No senior will ever forget German-born Sigrid Ahschhusen who, when introduced at the first pep rally, said, I feel sorry for those poor Rams!

THE JUNIOR CLASS From the very first clay of the 1965-1966 school year, the juniors were eaught up in the enthusiasm of varied activities, both scholastic and extracurricular. This class proved itself no exception to the highly productit ' e classes of previous years. Such activities as electing class officers, holding class meetings, and planning the Junior-Senior Prom highlighted a busy year. For the first time in se ' eral years, a student-abroad program was established. A junior of high scholastie ability possessing the traits of honesty and good citizenship and having a knowledge of the language of the host country was chosen to sjrend a summer in a foreign country. Using the funds obtained from the record-breaking Christmas card sales, the Junior Class was able, with much hard work involved, to plan and present the annual Junior Senior Prom on May 13, 1966. Students selected by the class president worked closely and se- cretly to present a successful ending to a successful year. Many juniors made scholastic achievements, also. A record number of juniors were inducted into the Beta Club and several junior boys were inducted into the Key Club.

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Entering West for the first time, soiihomores were looking lor knowledge, friendship, and a sense ot be- longing. Finding the first days quite a challenge, the newcomers were given aid hy Student Council guides and upjrerclassmen. d 0 hel]r in making the tenth graders feel weleome, the Library Club sponsored a Sophomore Tea. Adajrting to a new schedule which included biology, English 11, world history, physical education, and two electives was an ordeal for everyone at first.

On May 7, 1965, students and their guests danced to the music ]irovided by the Knights of Music from Shelby. Decorations for the Junior-Senior Prom represented the fantasy of “Cinderella.” The main attraction was a large pumjikin coach that centered the Irallroom. Royal purple pillows and slippers, representing Cinderella’s glass slipper, adorned the tables. A castle graced the stage and an oversized clock, which sounded at midnight, hung on the balcony. Decorations followed a color scheme of gold, royal purple, and pink. After refresh- ments were served from a table centered w ' ith artificial pumpkins, the program began. Senior superlati ' es. Stu- dent Council officers, and their escorts were introduced. Following the introduction, they led the grand march wdrich ended with everyone’s joining the dancing. Each girl receit ' cd a fan as a keepsake. 1 lighlighting the annual social et ' ent w ' as the crowaiing of Arden Idarris as Cinderella and Kenny Wood as Prince Charm- ing.

Members of the Senior Class elected twenty-four students to receive titles marking them as persons of jiarticularly outstanding characteristics and qualities, hlaving become acquainted with one another through their high school life and through activities in their communities and churches, seniors elected fellow classmates who they felt were best suited and most deserving of each title. All seniors chosen were active in ' arious activities of the school. Through their participation in sports, clubs, or other organiza- tions, they had proved themselves to be worthy of recog- nition with the honor of a particular superlative. Seniors nominated their choice for each superlatii ' e in home- room voting, after which a committee of senior home- room presidents declared the three boys and three girls receiving the most lotes for each title nominees for that superlative.

BACCALAUREATE Recognition of the graduating classes of the Charlotte- Mecklenburg high schools was one of the main purposes of the system-wide baccalaureate ceremony. Rabbi Joseph Asher, of Greensboro, North Carolina, delivered the baccalaureate sermon, “We Have Reason to Believe,” at the service held on May 30 in the Charlotte Coliseum. Sponsored by the Interfaith Baccalaureate Committee, the program included participation by fifteen high schools. Platform guests included Dr. A. Craig Phillips, Mr. David W. Harris, and student body presidents from each school. Serving as ushers were junior marshals from the fifteen participating schools. PEP RAEEIES “Where’s your school spirit?” was an unnecessary question this year as was evidenced by enthusiastic stu- dents who attended the pep rallies. Led by the cheer- leaders and lettergirls, the students demonstrated enthu- siastic support of the teams by yells which rocked the gym at each rally. During football season the pep rallies were highlighted by introductions of the players and the presentation of the school spirit I lonor Roll co ' ered with signatures of students. A scrimmage between the varsity and junior varsity teams at a pep rally did much to increase the already ebullient spirit during basketball season. At the Charlotte Coliseum 1965 seniors of all high schools in the county attend the baccalaureate service.

Awards Days Provide Recognition for Students On Athletic Awards Day, Coach Ahercromhie recognizes Don Whitley as a valuable player on the school’s football team. To recognize special abilities and achievements was the purpose of the two awards programs held during the month of May. Early in the month the athletic awards were presented before an assembly of the student body. Students who had participated in MTst ' s athletic events received arious awards, including letters, certificates, and shields. Those students lettering for a second or third year in a sport received siher or gold medals. On May 12 Senior Awards Day was obser ed. Spon- sored by the senior members of the editorial staff of the Tomahawk, the program opened with recognition of the top academic seniors, junior marshals, and student leaders for the 1965-1966 school year. Following the presentation of awards, editor Jimmy Funderburk pre- sented the first copy of the 1965 Tomahawk to Mr. W’rioht. In recognition of their achievement and effort, the Ten Outstanding Seniors were announced. Closing the program, senior members of the choir sang The 1 Fills of Ivy.” Page One Hundred Seventy-eight Christmas Door Decorations Create Festive Spirit One of the three judges examines a chalk mural, Lo! The Star, entered hy Miss Tyler’s homeroom. Mr. Macoti’s homeroom wins first place with the secular theme The Key to the Land of the Jolly Red Giant. To contribute a festive air to the Yuletide season, the ffouse and Grounds Committee of the Student Council sponsored a Christmas door decoration contest during the last week of school before the Christmas holidays. So that each homeroom might he in contention for one of the two first-place prizes awarded, the contest was divided into two classifications, religious and secular. Each homeroom decided on its theme and appointed a committee to do the decorating. The Student Council asked students to obey two rules when planning decorations: doors were to he inexpen- sive and fire-proof. Impressive designs appeared in ideas from cards, carols, and imaginations. Chosen by several judges, the winners were announced in a Student Coun- cil meeting at the close of the week. Winning the two top awards were Mr. Macon’s junior homeroom in the secular category and Miss Tyler’s senior homeroom with a relisious theme. O Page One Hundred Seventy-nine Yearbook Party Barbecue Highlight Spring Term Students celebrate the arrival of the 1965 TOMAHAWK at the traditional annual-sii ning party held in the gym. BARBECUE Although the weather was wet, spirits were not damp- ened when West ' s P.T.A. sponsored its fourteenth annual harbeeue on Mareh 18, 1965. Students partici- pated in selling tickets. Arden Harris, jimmy iMcArver, and Eddie Smith recei ’ed prizes of fifteen, ten, and fixe dollars respectively for selling the most tickets; homeroom winners were Mr. Murray, Mr. Pearson, and Mr. West- moreland. This barbecue exceeded all others in amount of prolit. The profit was used for P.T. . projects which benefit the school. AN N LI AL-SIGN INC PARTY On the evening of May 12, as students waited im- patiently in line, members of the business staff distrib- uted the 1965 Tomahawk to begin the vearly annual- signing party. Students with yearbooks migrated to the gym and teemed over the floor and bleachers seeking autographs. Adrile records were played by the editorial staff, yearbooks were passed around the gym and avail- able writing space soon became scarce. Plastic covers, sold for the first time, will help preserve the 1965 Tomahawk. On Barbecue Day students take advantage of the chance they have to buy barbecue and soft drinks after school. Page One Hundred Eighty BETA CLUB INDUCTION On the first of December, juniors and seniors filled the school auditorium to witness the induction of fellow classmates as new 1965-1966 Beta Club members.

Reviewing the 1965-1966 school year, the TOMAHAW’K staff sincerely hopes that it is a dream of happiness. The staff labored diligently for many hours to bring you, the student body, a complete coverage of “this day.” Acknowledgments are extended to all who helped make this publication possible. “This day” is but a short chapter from the book of life, but it will prepare a person for the chapters yet to be written. Yesterday can never be changed, but one’s asion of hope for tomorrow can be made a reality. Look well, therefore, to this day. PUBLIC LIBRARY OF CHARLOTTE AND MECKLENBURG COUNTY ■ CHARWm, N. c,, ' M.
