Hve 1 o aJ A Environment Abounds With Omnipresent Spirit ' A Students participate in various activities such as dances, athletics, and club meetings which enliven daily school routine. Along with the team members, cheerleaders assist to create the spark for the flaming spirit aroused at the athletic games. As coach of the junior varsity football team, Mr. Patterson explains instructions for future crucial plays during a game. To relay the enthusiastic liveliness which the stu¬ dents of West Mecklenburg possess, “The Spirit of West” was chosen as the theme of the 1967 TOMA¬ HAWK. In the routine of school life, an awareness of school spirit was found among students, faculty, and community as well. Spirit was found the first day of school when past underclassmen had risen another rung upon the ladder, and new underclass¬ men were found wandering through the maze of halls. Athletics were a prime factor in producing true school spirit. As an integral part of school activities, eight variations of sports were included. From the first kick-off until the sixth run was scored in the seventh inning of the last game, enthusiasm was omnipresent. To assist fellow member David Strawn, Larry Harper and V Practicing after school hours for upcoming matches, Troy Harkey serves the ball to companion members of the team.

At the GRAM science fair, Jackie Ramsey observes an elec¬ tronics science project by former student David McCall. To provide students with the opportunity to de¬ velop their talents and abilities, more than twenty organizations were established. Several curriculum courses, such as glee club and journalism, consti¬ tuted organizations and met a regular daily schedule. Students participating in these organizations re¬ ceived credits that were applied toward graduation. Other organizations met as an extension of a cur¬ riculum course. Members of these clubs discussed subjects that were related to the individual classes. For the benefit of the students, faculty and school, students participated in service organizations. Hav¬ ing definite projects planned, these clubs strove to help others. To meet every student’s needs, college and basic curriculum was offered. Such courses as foreign lan¬ guages, vocational programs, and various other elec¬ tives supplemented required courses. Members of the Camera Club Eddie Hartman and Lucinda Hartman distribute student directories during homeroom. 6 Activities Compose Daily School Routines While surrounded by encyclopedias, dictionaries, magazines, and various reference books, world history student Greg Rhyne se¬ lects a topic and prepares notecards and bibliography cards for the rough draft of a term paper. Taking advantage of her planning period, Mrs. L. Price Senior Mike Morgan yields assistance to Harry Blythe on an grades English papers in the planning room.

If one were to stand in the halls during the solitude before the changing of classes and remain as the bell rang, the true spirit could be captured. Aggregations of robust upperclassmen cluttered passageways and scrambled for the various classes as the tardy bell sounded. Interest and enthusiasm dominated the minds of students and reflected in their faces. Lunch periods provided an opportunity for classmen to share ideas and discuss varied activities. As classes dispersed for the final time of the day, preparation was being stirred for similar activities for the subsequent day. Sophomore homeroom president Ren Henderson sells Christ¬ mas dance tickets to students Bill Gupton and Carol Harr. Preparing to undertake the work of the new school day, Debbie Zimmerman selects the books that she will need. Students renew old acquaintances and make new friendships as they enjoy their lunch in the cafeteria during one of the three busy lunch periods of the school day. the Students’ School Life Covering the routine of a school day, special events, individual accomplishments, and such extra¬ curricular activities as socials, athletic competition, nominations, elections, and inductions were the goal of the Student Life section. Every student played a part in the drama of school life. Outstanding accomplishments were reached by some students through scholastic achievement, acceptance of re¬ sponsibility, good citizenship, participation, or leader¬ ship. Events such as graduation, pep rallies, Athletic Awards Day, Senior Awards Day, Homecoming, the barbecue, and the Junior-Senior Prom enlivened the year and provided different kinds of experiences. Student life was composed of the attitudes and accomplishments of the classmen. Recognition came to some for their academic success. The contagious spirit promoted all of school life as students worked compatibly together. Others caught the spirit when they realized that goals were possible to attain as they observed accomplishments of others. Student Life showed the life or course in which students were involved. Each had a role in the drama and the TOMAHAWK endeavored to capture and relay the spirit. Enjoying the splendor of an “Evening in Paris”, juniors and seniors dance during the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Linda Rothwell, sponsoring senior football player Jim Wat¬ son, is escorted at homecoming by Devon Brookshire. At the annual barbecue sponsored by the P.T.A. during the spring, Karen Taylor enjoys lunch and sunshine on campus. 9 Members of the TOMAHAWK Business Staff, Stephania Hyatt and Libby Helsabeck solicit advertisements. Advertising Promotes Community Interest During the summer months, members of the TOMAHAWK Business Staff combined into small bands and proceded to capture the hearts of local businesses to sell advertisements for the upcoming yearbook. Advertisements promote community in¬ terest and serve as the main financial factor in the production of the TOMAHAWK. The purpose of advertising is to relay an informative guide to stu¬ dents, faculty, and community. Through layout design and lively copy, the 1967 staffs have striven to express the true spirit. Spirit is found not only in the atmosphere of a basketball game, but in the environment of school life. As one turns the pages of the 1967 TOMAHAWK, the Spirit of West is evident. Following a year of composition and photography, Betty Blythe, 1966 editor, proudly displays the yearbook. Serving as main photographer for the yearbook’s pictures.

Sturdy Defense leads Tribe to Best Season Behind a hard hitting, ball hawking defense, the Indians compiled a 6-4 record, the best ever for a West squad. Running the T-formation for the first time in several years, Indian gridders under new head coach Clyde Peek got off to a slow start with consecutive losses to the Harding Rams and South Sabres, 19-6 and 14-12. The first win of the season came at the expense of Second Ward. Defensive end Troy Harkey blocked a Tiger punt and tackled Tiger quarterback Henry Shropshire in the end zone for a safety. The Indians won 21-6. The next loss came at the hands of Gastonia Ashley, 21-7, as the potent Green Wave offense proved too powerful for the Indians. In the following game the Indians hit the war¬ path as they beat the Hunter Huss Huskies 26-0. For homecoming the Indians played East, the state’s tenth ranked team. The Indian defense, led by linebacker Phil Keener, proved too much for the Eagle offense. Scoring the Tribe’s only touchdown on a 2-yard plunge, Herman Kistler led the Indians to a 6-2 win. Relying on the passing and running of quarterback John Severs and the pass receiving of end Bill Cavany, the Indians beat Lincolnton 22-6 in the seventh game of the season. The Tribe’s next opponent was the North Rebels. The Tribe played a close game but lost to a potent North offense 19-7. In their next two games, the Indians pulled off their biggest upsets. Behind the punting of Baxter Bridges and the stubborn ballhawking of Ray Miller, Phil Keener, and Lewis Wilson, the Indians stopped cold the highly ranked Wildcats. The Wild¬ cats scored first on a 44-yard run by fleet halfback Charlie Jetton. With four seconds left in the half, Severs lifted a pass to end Bill Cavany, who caught it on the two and then stepped in for the score. During the second half the Tribe defense took over and never let the Wildcats pass the midfield stripe. Late in the game Baxter Bridges boomed a punt that landed on the Wildcat 3-yard line. Wildcat safety Charlie Jetton tried to field the punt, but he was tackled by Lewis Wilson. A fumble followed. The Indians’ recovery set up the clinching score. The Indians won 13-7. In their last game of the season, the Indians met the Myers Park Mustangs. In the beginning it looked as if the Mustangs would walk away with the game as they marched 67 yards for a touchdown the first time they got the ball. Then a determined West defense took over. West scored twice in the ball game. The winning tally was scored by senior full¬ back Herman Kistler. Post season awards were numerous for the Indians. Three senior players—Cavany, Keener, and Miller —made the News and Observer All County Teams. Indian head coach, Clyde Peek, received the coach of the year award to top his first year as head coach at West. Hard hitting fullback Herman Kistler goes for a short gain against the Harding Rams in the Indians’ opening game. Breaking one tackle and meeting another makes running difficult for Doyle Shaw as he tries to clear the right end. Struggling for yardage, Severs finds the going gets rough as he is hauled down from behind by a tackier. After observing key plays down field, the Indian’s new head coach Clyde Peek walks desolately back to the Tribe’s bench.

Led by co-captains Don Eggleston and David Strawn, the Indians compiled a 12-11 overall record. After losing the opener to Second Ward, the Indians rebounded to win two straight by defeating Anson and Harding. For their second loss of the season, the Indians fell to Huss but then went on to win their next three by defeating Independence, East, and South. The Tribe lost the next three games as they lost to North, Ashley, and Myers Park. How¬ ever, the Indians sprang back to defeat third place Garinger 61-60.

Don Eggleston set a new per¬ sonal scoring record for an Indian by scoring 44 points in the game. In an overtime the Indians defeated East’s Eagles 80-75. In the following game, the Tribe rolled to victory over South 64-47. Dropping the next two to North and Ashley did not help the Indians in conference standings, but they rebounded the next week to defeat Myers Park 53-52. The Indians lost their last regular game to Garinger 69-73. In the tournament the Indians defeated North 51-50, Eggleston scoring with three seconds left. In the semi-finals the Indians lost to Ashley 39-43. The Mustangs defeated the Indians in the consolation game 77-70.

Determined Junior Varsity Gains Experience After losing to Second Ward 39 to 48 in the first game, the junior varsity beat Anson 80 to 31. Then they beat Harding 53 to 49 and Hunter Huss 56 to 47 at the start of the season. The Indians then lost the next six. They lost to East 68 to 53, to South 47 to 45, to North 53 to 51, to Ashley 42 to 38, and to Myers Park 61 to 32. West started the second half of the season with determination as they beat Garinger 59 to 55 and Harding 59 to 50. They lost to Hunter Huss 75 to 67 but came back to defeat Olympic 43 to 42. The Indians ended the season by losing to East 71 to 42, to South 43 to 36, to North 51 to 48, to Ashley 55 to 40, to Myers Park 67 to 50, and to Garinger 67 to 50. West lost in the first round of tournament play to West Charlotte by 63 to 44. Driving by a South Mecklenburg defender, junior varsity guard Calvin Tinker makes his move toward the West basket. Surrounded by South players, Indian Randy Walker tries to gather in the rebound from the midst of the confusion. Trying to monopolize a loose ball, Captain Jeff Jackson runs into opposition from a Second Ward opponent. Fleet half-back Mike Cox turns the corner on an end sweep only to find himself met by two East defenders. During a home junior varsity football game, David McGee obtains further yardage with assistance from Randy Walker. Junior Varsity Compiles a 6-4 Season Record With a well-balanced attack on both offense and defense, the junior varsity gridders compiled a 6-4 season record. Under new head coach Morgan Walker, the junior varsity switched from the single wing to the T and winged-T formations. One of the biggest wins of the season came when the Indians defeated previously unbeaten East by 13-7 on the Tribe’s gridiron. Another big win came when the Tribe handed once beaten South a 6-0 defeat in a muddy battle at South. Some of the outstanding gridders for the junior varsity on offense were fullback David McGee, and quarterbacks Mike Bass and Baron Beckham. The Tribe was led on defense by Doug Starnes, middle guard; Randy Walker, a defensive end; and Jack Watson, a guard. Putting on a burst of speed that leaves his two defenders behind, Rex McCall heads down field for a long gain.

Indians Finish Third in State Play-Offs With a season record of fifteen wins and only four losses, the Indians made their play for the state championship. After beating Asheville 6-3, West lost to North in the semi-final round of play by a score of 6-1. This loss placed West as the third-ranked team in the entire state. After a slow first half with only four wins to three .losses, the team came on strong in the secon d half to win eight games and to lose one. Trailing 10-9 in the seventh inning of the Tribe’s first game, Lane Biggers came on to get a hit and bring in the two winning runs. Two weeks later West played North in an impor¬ tant game. After seven full innings the score stood tied 5-5. In the eighth inning Mike Kelly stole home to win the game for the Rebels. Led by the strong pitching of Baron English, West toppled South 3-0 to start the second half of the season. English took charge of the game by pitching a four hit shutout. Teammates Doyle Shaw and Phil Armstrong supported English by hitting a home run and three base hits. In the final game of the regular season, West beat Garinger 3-2 after eight innings of play. In the top of the eighth inning, Johnny Severs scored the winning run on a delayed double steal. Doyle Shaw and Jay Kistler led the team in batting with .318 and .317 averages respectively. Indian coach Carl Bolick confers with the umpires to decide if the semi-final playoff should be played. Batter Johnny Severs smashes a long hit against North, as the catcher and umpire await the pitch. 20 Stretching for a close play, Don Wherry makes sure his foot does not leave the bag as an opposing coach awaits the call. During spring training, which starts in February, Joey Fiorello squares around to practice his bunts. All eyes follow the ball as it is fouled by batter Joey Fiorello while the umpire reaches for a new ball.

Four Grapplers Wrestle in State Tournament With fewer participants than in previous years, West grapplers won three matches out of eleven scheduled ones. In the Western 4A tournament held at East Meck¬ lenburg, Robin Wooten won the championship for the 112 pound class; Kelly Wingate, the 154 pound class; and Ray Miller, the 165 pound class. Ray Miller, Robin Wooten, Kelly Wingate, and Steve Schroeder represented the Indians at the state tournament. Ray Miller became state champion for the 165 pound class. Robin Wooten, 112 pound class, placed third in his matches; and Kelly Wingate and Steve Schroeder represented the 154 and 120 pound classes respectively. Coached by Coach John Brown in his first year at West, the grapplers worked to gain endurance and co-ordination, to learn fundamentals, and to maintain an attitude of sportsmanship. Indian grappler Mike Bingham tries to shoot the half nelson on his Independence opponent during an early match. Trying for a pinning combination, grappler Steve Schroeder holds his Independence opponent to the mat.

Track Team Places Fifth in State Tournament The track team had a slow start but came on strong to finish the season in fifth place in the state 4-A meet. The Warriors began the season by coming in second in the first combination meet with Myers Park on top with 93 points, West with 31 points, and Garinger with 23 points. The following meet had almost identical scores with Myers Park having 93, West 37, and Garinger 18 points.

Promoting athletic ability and physical fitness is the goal of G.A.A., the only association providing for girls the opportunity to participate in sports. Weekly meetings helped members improve co-ordina¬ tion, skill, and sportsmanship in various athletic act ivities. Fall activities included fast-moving field hockey and tennis. Supervised by Miss Southerland, the field hockey team played several other schools in the area. Frequently, mid-winter participation in basket¬ ball and volleyball brought intense excitement. Throughout the year, preparations for the annual State Playday in High Point were made. Prospective participants prepared to compete with girls from other schools in track events, tennis, softball, and volleyball. Many hopes were fulfilled as the long- awaited day arrived. After enjoying an excitement- packed day, the girls returned to West sore and sun¬ burned but enthusiastic with new ideas for next year. Members Brenda Jones, Donna Biggers, Thelma Morrison, and Karen Clarke participate in an afternoon basketball game. 27 Student Body ChoosesNine s. During the West-Second Ward game, Alice Armstrong en¬ courages the spectators to cheer the Indians on to victory. Head cheerleader, Karen Woody, anxiously watches the foot¬ ball team attempt a touchdown at the West-Garringer game. After months of practicing, nine girls faced a moment of truce. Now that school had begun, each would have to show her capabilities as a cheerleader. To become a cheerleader, a girl had to be approved by a committee of teachers and students who checked for scholastic and physical ability, character, and school spirit. After being approved, the selected can¬ didates had to perform before the student body as an individual, in a group of three, and in a group of seven. Nine were chosen by student vote to become cheerleaders. Under the supervision of Miss Bates, each girl learned fundamentals of good cheering. The squad led fellow students in displaying school spirit. Through junior-varsity cheering, both Jan Bolick and Kristie Ethridge act as representatives of the student body. At a pep rally held before an important basketball game, Nanci Hipp shouts to the student body on “Gotta Beat.” 28 Spirited Girls to Cheer Pausing between cheers, Judy Aderholt glances at the action of the basketball game before facing the crowd again. Topping the pyramid, junior Anne Armstrong arouses ex¬ citement among eager students on a favorite cheer, “Two Bits.” Cheerleading requires good timing and physical agility as Kathy Hipp, Debbie Lamb, and Mai’la Mulligan demonstrate. This trio of Nanci Hipp, Vicki Cashion, and Judy Aderholt help spell out “Indians” at the West-Hunter Huss ball game. Adding snap to the junior varsity game, Janet Gray; Elicia Lowe, chief; and Nancy Easterling spur on school spirit. 29 30 31 Staff Strives to Convey ‘The Spirit of West’ Editor Mike Sanders; Mrs. Harris, adviser; and Marcia Town¬ send. assistant editor, discuss plans and possibilities for the yearbook. Cropping pictures are Jimmy Lockman; David Turner; Linda Payseur; Marsha Springs, club editor; and David Beatty, sports editor. Lynn Benjamin; Larry Harper, copy and art editor; Ray Sigmon; Kathy McKeon; Kay Bigham; and Barbara Black arrange pictures. Striving to tell the spirited West story and hoping to capture a Medalist award as received for the 1966 TOMAHAWK became the major objectives of the edi¬ torial staff. Plans for the 1967 edition were made in the spring after the Medalist winner had gone to press. With the arrival of a new school year, came the duty of realizing plans. After school and on Sat¬ urdays, the group could often be found in room 64 racing against deadlines. February 15 arrived and the staff could only await the book’s return. Suddreth, student life editor; Clarke; Aderholt, junior editor; Armstrong, curriculum and administration editor; Ramsey, senior editor; Gardner, picture editor; and Earnest, sopho¬ more editor, discuss pictures and copy blocks. Occupied with the time-consuming tasks of writing captions and rewriting headlines are Angelia Epley, Carol Williams, and Ernestine Bennett. 32 To contact advertisers by telephone is one responsibility of staff members Princess Blythe and Laurel Ellis. Counseling- business manager Deeley Curry and assistant manager Stephania Hyatt is their advisor, Mrs. Foster. Part of the essential tasks faced in publishing a yearbook was completed by the business staff of the TOMAHAWK. One duty was that of soliciting adver¬ tisements from businesses around Charlotte to pro¬ vide funds for the 1967 TOMAHAWK. Beginning their work in the summer and continuing through November, students strove faithfully to fulfill this responsibility. Before the annual went to press, the staff also planned the layout for the advertising sec¬ tion and sponsored a booster page.

During the summer, work began with the sell¬ ing of ads. Work continued during the year as tired editors went through the ordeal of writing copy, reading proof, and making paste-ups. Striving to give complete and accurate coverage, staff members put much time and work into each of the seven issues. As in previous years the journalism classes, pub¬ lishers of the paper, sponsored various health cam¬ paigns and a Drive Safely Week. The 1965-66 BOW AND ARROW was awarded the Quill and Scroll “A” and International Honor Rating, an award given to papers of superior achievement. Judges graded the newspapers on their ability to inform, influence, and entertain readers. The BOW AND ARROW was the only newspaper in North Carolina to receive the award. To counsel co-editors Sandra Greene and Reggie Whitley is one function of Mrs. Atnip, the BOW AND ARROW adviser.

During half-time ceremonies at Homecoming, David Faber conducts as the band accompanies the Glee Club. As the Christmas season began, the band com¬ bined efforts with Coulwood and Wilson Junior High School bands to follow the tradition of marching in the annual Carrousel Parade. Spirited music was produced preceding football games and during halftimes. Due to daily class ses¬ sions and after school practices, the band was always ready to perform for the school community, and to exemplify the Indian spirit. Knowledge of the funda¬ mentals of music was an additional benefit. Two innovations were a drum major, who directed the band at presentations, and the Crystalettes, a dance team of five, which performed at football and basketball games. In addition a team of eight lettergirls, spelling Indians, also marched with the band. An additional responsibility of the lettergirls was to aid in leading cheers at football and basketball games. Watching an afternoon football game are the majorettes, who have joined the crowd to cheer the Indians to victory. t jZggUU Fwr £ mT c w lg l -gG ifSk 1 ' 59 KM Am V JLMal Former Florida state baton twirling champion, Chris Horky, performs for the Homecoming Queen and her subjects.

Student Council Goa ] 1 Choosing as its theme “Work for today: prepare for tomorrow,” the 1966-1967 Student Council strove to impress upon the student body the importance of readiness for the future through foundations gained in the present. By carrying out this theme in all its activities, the council was able to promote a feeling of interest in the daily events of school life. Meeting once every two weeks, members of the council, while becoming better citizens themselves, strove to co-ordinate activities of the student body. Student Council president Larry Harper and vice-president Angelia Epley post a list of members having hall duty. First Row: Killian; K.

A representative organization, the Student Council was comprised of homeroom presidents, club presi¬ dents, committee chairmen, editors and business managers of publications, class presidents, and coun¬ cil officers who were elected by the student body. Proving to be an active organization, the Student Council promoted many activities and service proj¬ ects. Included among these were the adoption of a school insignia, an orientation program for new stu¬ dents, the sponsoring of three socials, and the estab¬ lishing of a program of hall duty during lunch periods.

Committees Encourage Student Interest Striving to create an atmosphere which was rel¬ ative to the occasion, the Cafeteria Committee was a prime booster of spirit. Chairman Alice Sadler and the seven other members had the duty of decorating the cafeteria for the holidays and special events. The creativity of the committee was evident many times during the year in the forms of ghosts sus¬ pended from the ceiling at Halloween, school spirit posters during homecoming week, Christmas trees and gifts, Valentines, and Easter eggs. The Publicity Committee fulfilled its duties by designing and putting up posters advertising Student Council projects, which included the school’s three socials and projects such as the registration of Stu¬ dent Council candidates. Another important duty was that of designing a bulletin board on the Student Council theme, “Work for today: prepare for to¬ morrow.” The Publicity Committee, with Judy Ader¬ holt as its chairman, had as its chief purpose the responsibility of informing the student body of all Student Council activities. Aiding Harriet Landtman, exchange student from Finland, in gaining a better understanding of America, the Charlotte Exchange Student Committee appointed big brothers and big sisters to guide her through school activities. Each member alternated acting as big brother or sister. The committee sold Friends-Around-The-World note cards in order to solicit funds for the Americans Abroad program. This program was one in which committee members participated by helping to select juniors who might participate in the summer exchange program. Kathy McKeon; Debra McNeill; Troy Brooks; Linda Rothwell; and Cathy Navey, chairman, prepare for sale of note cards. 42 Selecting Student Council devotions are committee members Dan Rothwell, chairman; Mike Sanders; and Sandra Greene. Members of the Devotion Committee, under the leadership of chairman Dan Rothwell, were given the task of planning and presenting appropriate de¬ votions for regular Student Council meetings. To ac¬ complish this task, the committee solicited the aid of various speakers. Another project undertaken by the committee was the presentation of devotions at P.T.A. meetings. Responsible for all social functions sponsored by the Student Council, members of the Social Com¬ mittee, under the chairmanship of Nanci Hipp, es¬ tablished and carried out plans for a school dance before the homecoming game, at Christmas, and in the spring. Two subcommittees provided refresh¬ ments and made decorations for the gym. Members were also responsible for hiring bands and arranging for entertainment at intermissions. The committee co-operated with various other committees of the Student Council in planning the social functions. Jimmy Garnett; Troy Harkey; Johnny Kinley, chairman; and Ray Gaskin discuss possible changes in the constitution. The primary purpose of the Constitution Com¬ mittee was to keep a current constitution and to anticipate any changes which could be made to im¬ prove the document during the school year. One of the committee’s other tasks was to send congrat¬ ulatory cards to parents of students on the “A” and “B” honor rolls for each semester. Also, committee members, led by Johnny Kinley, had the responsi¬ bility of counting the Student Council election votes and of instructing the Student Council members on parliamentary procedure. Decorating for the Christmas dance are Nanci Hipp, Social Committee chairman; Willene Husband; and Marcia Townsend. 43 i i School Spirit Committee members J. Beatty, D. Frazier, and C. Hilton post a banner to announce the coming East game. Committees Assume Responsibility of Numerous To boost school spirit to a new peak was the pur¬ pose of the School Spirit Committee. The goal of the committee was active participation by all students in encouraging West’s teams. Headed by chairman David Beatty, the committee introduced a new pro¬ ject, the selling of booster tags made by the art de¬ partment. Also sold were the traditional booster tags and maroon and white shakies. Posters, banners, and bulletin boards placed throughout the school kept students informed of coming games. The first official school coat-of-arms was the pro¬ duct of the Insignia Committee, a new committee of the Student Council. With Larry Harper as chairman, the committee members designed an insignia which was adopted after a student vote. The insignia was patterned after the design of the senior ring. Figures representing knowledge, arts, science, and athletics, occupy the center of the insignia. Insignia Committee members Larry Harper, Ray Gaskin, Anne Armstrong, and Johnny Kinley view the new school insignia. Preparing Christmas dance tickets are Alice Armstrong; David Strawn, chairman; Karen Woody; and Nanci Hipp. As its main duty the Finance Committee took charge of the financial affairs of the Student Coun¬ cil. The committee, headed by Student Council treas¬ urer David Strawn, had another important responsi¬ bility, that of preparing tickets for all of the school’s dances. It was necessary for the members to design the tickets and then to see that the tickets were mimeographed, cut, and distributed to Student Coun¬ cil members. Also, the members were responsible for collecting the money for these tickets. 44 Making council plans are Larry Harper, David Strawn, Mrs. Foster, Mr. Tucker, Angelia Epley, and Wanda Suddreth. Student Council Projects Sending cards to the faculty are Hospitality Committee mem¬ bers, Cheryl Wilkinson, Martha Kerns, and Marsha Gardner. Comprising the Executive Committee of the Stu¬ dent Council were the president, vice-president, sec¬ retary, and treasurer of the Student Council and the two advisers. Planning the council’s projects and ac¬ tivities, the committee worked to make sure that all of these were successfully completed a nd arranged. The Executive Committee, aided by the committee chairmen, also met before the opening day of school to chose a new theme and goals for the Student Council of this year. As the Hospitality Committee’s first project, the members honored the teachers at a Faculty Tea held August 26. When school officially began, sophomores were welcomed by signs made by the committee and placed throughout the school. The committee provid¬ ed refreshments for the Student Council at various meetings. Members also planned and carried out a tea for Student Council candidates. Another project of the committee was placing artificial flowers in the planning room. Teachers were the recipients of birth¬ day cards sent by the committee in the name of the Student Council. Having as its purpose the beautifying of school grounds, the House and Grounds Committee under¬ took various projects during the year. The most im¬ portant of these was the sponsoring of a Christmas door decoration contest, held to create a Christmas atmosphere in the school. Each homeroom was re¬ sponsible for decorating its door, and members of the committee, headed by Alice Armstrong, awarded prizes for the best ideas in secular and religious dec¬ orations. Inspecting efforts in a Christmas door decoration contest are Alice Armstrong, Kathy Earnest, and Judy Aderholt. 45 In an F.F.A. project, Gene Denny, Ray Miller, and Doyle Shaw discuss the techniques of obtaining soil samples. Throughout the year the Future Farmers of America participated in a series of contests with other Future Farmer Clubs in the area. These con¬ tests tested the skills of the club members in many different fields. Among the contests were land judg¬ ing, dairy judging, livestock judging, and tool identifying. Besides participating in the above con¬ tests, the Future Farmer members studied the funda¬ mentals of ritual and parliamentary procedure. Inspecting construction on the new greenhouse are club members Doyle Shaw, Gene Denny, and Don Abernathy. Agriculture Contests Highlight FFA Year First Row: Ledford; Cathey, secretary; D.

Perkins, Stephania Hyatt, Donna Kenley, and Steve Vaughn portray English Courses Stress Better Communication Illustrating action in a novel, English students Robert Harrill and Billy Price participate in a dramatic skit. The courses in English were designed to help stu¬ dents communicate better. Emphasis was placed on speaking and writing effectively and correctly, build¬ ing a better vocabulary, and developing an under¬ standing and appreciation of literature. English, which was required by the state, was offered to bene¬ fit every student. Some courses were designed as college preparatory courses; others were planned for students entering the business world immediately after high school. Comprehension was obtained through student par¬ ticipation. Characterizing the techniques used by var¬ ious teachers were daily drills combined with pro¬ jects, discussions, and presentations of skits and plays. In the study of English, students learned funda¬ mental grammatical rules. They used this knowledge as a tool of self-expression in both oral and written compositions. Vocabulary study enabled students to express themselves more clearly and exactly. English II offered students an overall look at lit¬ erature through the study of examples from world lit¬ erature. English III placed emphasis on American literature and gave students a deeper understanding and appreciation of the heritage and customs of their country. Greek mythology, a vital key to understand¬ ing literature, and English literature were areas of detailed study in senior English classes. The new course of comparative literature for sen¬ iors offered an opportunity to study classic and con¬ temporary works and to write themes about these works. In an English II class, Joyce Hamm gives an oration com¬ memorating the origin and significance of Veterans Day. Senior students are required to listen attentively as Mr. Freeman dictates notes on English grammar and literature. Viewing a film on HAMLET, comparative literature students enrich their understanding of Shakespearean plays. Constructing a model of an ancient Greek theatre are English II students Charles Bridges and Larry Bostian. 79 Students Gain More Complete Knowledge of th: Physics students Johnny Rollins, Wayne Stowe, Mike Russell, and Janice McFarland record data for an incline plane study. While the Chemistry II class readies for an experiment, Lynn Mathis prepares a chemical solution for laboratory use. Conducting an experiment, Devon Brookshire checks the tem¬ perature while Ronnie Montgomery records the information. i i 80 ciences Through New Equipment, New Textbooks To create an understanding of life and to gain knowledge in basic laboratory procedures were the objectives for students in Biology I. New textbooks gave students a greater opportunity to increase their knowledge. To expand their interests students could take a second year course. Biology II provided the opportunity for advancement in creative thinking in science. Learning the make-up of the world and the com¬ position of the principle elements was the main ob¬ jective of Chemistry I. The second year course was an extension of the principles and processes learned in Chemistry I. The emphasis was placed on labora ¬ tory work in organics, and students were encouraged to undertake various research projects. Physics, the most advanced science course offered, was designed for the study of the mathematical appli¬ cation of the laws of nature and the study of light, sound, and electricity. New equipment in all branches of science helped the students to perform their experiments more suc¬ cessfully. During a biology class, Mrs. Hunsucker relates genetic prob¬ abilities to Seay, Sain, Miller, and Bingham. Physics students Tom Brabenec and John Payne observe a demonstration by Mr. Harvey concerning a law of motion. Striving to keep the thermometer’s measurements accurate, Wayne Stowe studies the readings with a magnifying glass. 81 Mathematics Department Provides Curriculun As a daily part of their classroom activities in geometry, Ginger Richardson, Susie Mingus, Harold Landacre, and Phil Schroe- der participate in class by working individual problems on the board. Geometry student Sylvia McClamrock ' studies the principal properties of two examples of simple conic sections. An advanced mathematics course created mainly for college-bound students, functions included trig¬ onometric and algebraic functions and an introduc¬ tion to co-ordinate geometry and calculus. Studying the fundamentals of algebra and trig¬ onometry is a principle aim of Algebra III and Trigonometry. This course covers the nature of math¬ ematics as a logical system. Developing skills in proving triangles, correspond¬ ences, and formulas is the main purpose of geometry. This course prepares students for further advanced mathematics courses. Algebra I and II consist of a study of the real and imaginary number systems. Also involved in these college-preparatory courses are logarithms and functions. Business mathematics is for students planning to enter the business world. It covers such areas of finance as loans, insurance, and income tax. Joel Elam, Rick Flannigan, Charles Guignard, and Phil Keener calculate problems in Trigonometry and Algebra III. 32 To Prepare Students for Both College, Business By constructing a diagram, algebra student Jimmy Brock is able to visualize readily the solution to the problem. To simplify the work involved in solving a problem dealing with functions, Paul Scott manipulates a slide rule. By assisting each other in solving a trigonometry problem, Harriet Landtman and Phil Keener agree on a solution. Receiving instructions from Mr. Patterson on a basic pro¬ cedure in business mathematics is Charles Earnhardt. 83 Listening to tapes and repeating dialogues, Willene Hus¬ band, a French II student, widens her French vocabulary. To test their knowledge of French vocabulary, Dorma Was- ham and Danny Gilbert play scrabble during class. Mr. Hartley issues C.E.S.P. greeting cards to Tillie Petty as Iris Coley records the number of cards received. 8 Languages Emphasize Grammar, Vocabulary Learning to speak, comprehend, and appreciate foreign languages was the primary objectives of the foreign language department. Students had a choice of their foreign languages—Spanish, French, and Latin. Vocabulary and grammar were emphasized in the first two years of French. Pronunciation became more accurate through the use of the language lab¬ oratory. French III placed emphasis on literature. Passages from French authors such as Voltaire, Pas¬ cal, and Villon were translated from French to Eng¬ lish. The first two years of Latin provided a study of vocabulary and basic grammar. Short plays were given in which the students spoke Latin. Students studied the Gallic wars and became familiar with Latin literature by reading the works of Caesar, Livy, Ovid, and Pliny. As in French and Latin, Spanish I and II empha¬ sized vocabulary and grammar. Speaking ability was improved with the aid of the language laboratory. Spanish students also took dictation to improve spelling. Adding to the study of Spanish literature, Vernon Parr, Roberta Wolfe, and Mike Sanders select reading materials. Reading French magazines provides drill in translation as well as enjoyment for Sharon Brooks and Len Abercrombie. Displaying pictures of Roman citizens and architecture, Ann Henderson enlightens her class on Latin culture. Students Study Heritage To Prepare for Future World geography students Greg Bethune and Johnny Kinley conduct a map study by observing and recording information. Having built a medieval castle, Vickie Hatley and Chris Edwards present the world history project to the class. Boarding a bus for Morganton, psychology students anticipate an educational excursion to Broughton Memorial Hospital. 36 History students work to achieve an understanding of world events by individual reading and group discussions in class. To help students learn of the past in order to understand the present and to prepare for the future was the aim of social studies. World history and American history, both required for graduation, psychology, and world geography constituted the curriculum. World history covered the western civilization from the origin of man to present day. Studying current events related the past and the present. To gain an appreciation of the democratic heritage of the United States, the American history student con¬ centrated his study on the development of American democracy. Psychology, an elective, was the study of human behavior. Using tests and evaluations of human dif¬ ferences, students learned how to deal with everyday problems. In world geography, another elective, stu¬ dents examined geography and economic and social conditions of different countries. Utilizing library facilities, history students Phil Pare, Ronnie Bailey, and Susan Reavis write a term paper. After class Linda McArthur observes projects made by U. S. History students during a study of the Civil War. 87 Students Gain Experience The commercial department offered bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, general business, general office practice, and data processing to give instruction in business subjects. Employing guest speakers, individual reports, and class demonstrations, students learned the funda¬ mentals of bookkeeping for personal and vocational use. They studied the various bookkeeping cycles as well as the proper way of keeping records. Shorthand I and II were designed to help students gain a basic understanding of that system. Dictation tapes, which speed learning and add interest, were added to the shorthand department. To give a working knowledge of typing for both personal and vocational use was the major objective of Typing I and II. In the preparation of a booklet, students practiced the fundamentals of good typing by putting emphasis on speed and accuracy. General business contributed a better understand¬ ing of Ame rican business and of its place in the American way of life. It dealt with the everyday business functions and services. To help train stu¬ dents in the operation of office machines, the com¬ mercial department offered general office practice. Data processing was added to help students learn the computer terms and concepts. Becoming familiar with the fundamentals of bookkeeping, Gail Brown gains experience by completing practice sets. Studying general office practice, Gwen Hux increases her speed and accuracy in operating an adding machine. Following directions, data processing students Bill Stokes and Steve Van Malssen wire a control panel during class. S3 Applying fundamental principles of typing, Carol Hagler finds Manipulating the key punch machine, Danny McClure prepares that perfection is achieved only by practice. a punch card used in the data proces sing computers. In general office practice Mrs. McCarter familiarizes Jo Sum¬ merlin with the operation of the mimeograph machine. Improving her speed and accuracy, shorthand student Sandy Seay utilizes earphones to obtain practice in dictation. 89 Student Participation Aids Expansion of Skills Instructor Southerland demonstrates the fundamentals of field hockey to Brenda Tucker and Donna Biggers. Ann Blue, Sherry Burleson, Brenda Jones, and Terry Wells nlay a frantic game of basketball in physical education. Development of the body as well as development of the mind is important; therefore, physical education was a required course. The main purpose of the course was to build the physical ability of every student involved. A spirit of competition arose among the students. Such spirit allowed students to acquire an attitude of good sportsmanship. Harmony grew among the partici¬ pants. The promotion of fair play gave the students an opportunity to develop and expand their indivi¬ dual personalities. Participation in daily exercises aided the students by teaching them to act quickly and to control their emotions during trying situations in daily life. Throughout the year students took part in team and individual sports. Team sports included field hockey, basketball, volleyball, and softball. Gymnas¬ tics, track and field, tennis and other recreational sports were included in the study. During a game of crab soccer, boys in a physical education class demonstrate physical co-ordination and skill. While learning basketball skills, Van Malssen, Anderson, Schroeder, and Harris exhibit dexterity in ball handling. 90 Applying the knowledge gained in a driver education class, sophomore Vivian Hutchinson turns the ignition key. n RIVER EDUCATION As a driver education student, Cathy Raborn prepares to be¬ gin the road work, which is an important part of the course. Students Acquire Knowledge of Highway Rules The driver education course was a combination of thirty hours of classroom work, six hours of driving experience, and twelve hours of driving observation. Safety, an essential factor, was stressed throughout all portions of the course. The use of realistic films and actual accident scenes brought the dangers of unsafe driving to the attention of all students. Dur¬ ing the classroom work, students also gained a knowl¬ edge and understanding of fundamental operations of the automobile. Students transferred into their physical education classes or study halls after com¬ pleting the study. Throughout the remaining year and summer, all of the students expanded their knowledge by participating in supervised road work. Polly Sloan learns that before turning the ignition key, she must fasten her seat belt and adjust the mirrors. While listening to Instructor Clouse, Cathy Raborn, Marie Floyd, and Sylvia Martin observe various car parts. 91 Presenting an advertisement on electrical appliances to a D.E. II class are Cynthia Tumblin and Deral Greene. As a part of his on-the-job training, Kenneth Collins, an I.C.T. student, threads a pipe at White Plumbing Company. Vocational Students Gain Combining on-the-job training and classroom study, the vocational courses—Distributive Educa¬ tion I and II, marketing, co-operative office occupa¬ tions, and industrial co-operative training—taught the students about the business world and gave them opportunities to gain work experience through train¬ ing while still in high school. To train students in the field of distribution, dis¬ tributive education covered such important phases as salesmanship, advertising, communication, and business merchandising. Students left school early to work at their out-of-school jobs. In industrial co-operative training, students learn¬ ed about industry in general. They learned about occupational areas in industry by studying related technical material in class. Co-operative office occupations students address invitations for a banquet presented in honor of their employers. 92 Distributive Education I students Nancy Combs and Ardyth Gaining experience for office jobs, Karen Haskett, Diane Whitaker discuss and study their advertisement sheets. Johnson, and Sandy Helms practice on business machines. Valuable Experience in the Business World On-the-job training was secured in occupational areas of their choice. The purpose of co-operative office occupations was to help the young worker do better the kind of job for which he was best suited. Students used business machines, business procedures, and human relation¬ ships to prepare careers in the business world. Plac¬ ing these young people in an organization of training provided a working understanding of business. By learning the phases involved in production, marketing students were introduced to distribution, salesmanship, and advertising. Marketing students developed skills which enabled them to enter market¬ ing professions. In their D.E. class, Carol Helms, Doris Setzer, Wayne Coch¬ ran, and Eddie Mattox display a comic bulletin board. To receive training at G and W Equipment Company, I.C.T. student Earl Chronister adjusts the motor on a lift. 93 While studying tailoring in a foods and clothing course, Beth Gray marks the hemline in Judy Aderholt s skiit. Using basic electronic instruments in wiring a circuit are electronics students Mike Bright and Mike West. Varied Areas of Stud) Lectures, demonstrations in food and clothing, and practical experiences were vital aspects of home ec¬ onomics. Designed for seniors, family living taught young people how to be capable family members at the present time and in the future. Units covered in this course included Marriage and the Family, Foods and Nutrition, Child Development, and Money Man¬ agement. To help students see, observe, create, and enjoy art, art courses included drawing, painting, ceramics, crafts, and sculpture. Competition in the Scholastic Arts Awards and participation in the Fes¬ tival in the Park increased student interest in this department. To stimulate interest in reading, reading improvement strived to aid students in improving comprehension and general reading ability. Organizing a temporary nursery in Home Economies I, Linda McMahon and Jackie Ramsey get experience in child care. Striving for perfection, art students Danny Watts and Tony DeLane prepare a nativity scene for public display. u 94 enlivened by Electives Industrial arts promoted training in woodworking, sheet metal, welding, and ceramics. Using hand tools, filmstrips and charts, boys prepared for the future. Basic electronics was added to the curriculum and enabled students to acquire the fundamentals of elec¬ tricity and electronics. The main purpose of techni¬ cal drafting was to teach and to prepare boys for college engineering or for work. Agriculture compri¬ sed the study of farming and farm-related occupa¬ tions. Performing at football games, parades, and school programs, the band raised the cultural level and stim¬ ulated the morale of the student body.

Johnny Kinley Heads Staff of Four Selected b Before homeroom Troy Brooks and foreign exchange student Harriet Landtman plan the coming day’s activities. Realizing that one is a senior gives a student an indescribable feeling of accomplishment and of hav¬ ing reached a desired goal in life. This realization came for the Class of 1967 almost at the opening of school: senior rings arrived only one week after school had begun. In the turmoil and excitement of the football games, seniors formed a cheering section and yelled loudest with the SENIOR battle cry. Along with being school leaders came the privilege of choosing Miss TOMAHAWK, Mr. and Miss West, and senior superlatives. Also came the selection of the class flower and motto. Graduation came nearer to reality on November 18 when seniors placed orders for calling cards and invitations. Seeking advice on vocational choices, they frequented the guidance office. Another pre¬ paratory step for the world after high school was taking the college board examination in December. Making new friends during the year, Harriet Landtman—foreign exchange student from Helsinki, Finland—was an active member of the class. The peak of the social year came as the seniors were honored by the Junior Class at the Junior- Senior Prom. Dancing to the music of the Catalinas on May 19, seniors enjoyed an entertaining evening at the White House Inn. Long-awaited graduation arrived on May 31, when seniors bade farewell to their days at West. With tears mingled with laughter, the Class of 1967 stepped out of their high school years with high ambitions and brilliant hopes for the future. 98 Jerry Ellis and Allen Gayle give information to William Self who fills out a receipt for senior rings. Seniors to Lead Class Doing research for school projects at the West Branch Public Library are seniors Camelia Parsons and Mike Morgan. Class officers Karen Woody, Johnny Kinley, Herman Kistler, and Steve Schroeder count ballots for a current election. 99 Alice Armstrong and Karen Woody carry a cake to present to the football team and coach prior to the West-Myers Park game, Excitement, Coupled With Disbelief, Prevails a DANE STEPHEN AARON — D.E.

N. Brown, G. Tadlock, B. Hagler, and P. Million pause to examine newly constructed sign in front of school. Juniors Enter With Even before the 1966-1967 school year started, juniors began to take part in many school-related activities. The Junior Class officers met several times to plan and to discuss ways to get juniors interested in both scholastic and extracurricular school projects and activities. Juniors sent letters to the sophomores to welcome them to the school. The main purpose of the Junior Corner was to en¬ courage Christmas card sales before Christmas and to promote school spirit and citizenship. To begin the card sales, a junior assembly was held; midway through the sales the prize to be given to the highest seller was announced. Christmas card chairmen pro¬ moted the sales in each homeroom. With aid from Miss Bates and Mr. Bone, class advisers, the juniors presented the annual Junior-Senior Prom. After PSAT scores arrived, juniors used them as guides for planning senior and college studies. The Charlotte Exchange Student Program offered juniors an opportunity to compete for the privilege of spend¬ ing a summer in a foreign country. Class members accepted positions of leadership and participated in various aspects of school life. For scholastic achieve¬ ment, several juniors were tapped into the National Honor Society, and several junior boys were inducted into the Key Club.

Tea Introduces Sophomores to Year of As a part of daily routine, lunch in the cafeteria proves to be a time for fellowship, relaxation, and food. Sharing victories as well as defeats, sophomores became a part of school life early. Entering with the desire to augment their knowledge and friendships, the newcomers looked to their high school days with much anticipation. To help the sophomores feel wel¬ come, the Library Club honored them with a tea. The Student Council and upper classmen aided them with directions until they became acquainted with the school. Five sophomores chosen as junior varsity cheer¬ leaders added pep to the games. As the year proceed¬ ed, class officers were elected to lead the class and preside over the class meeting in the spring. Sophomores adjusted to their new schedules. Among their courses were biology, English II, world history, physical education, driver education, and an elective. Two days were taken to administer the Dif¬ ferential Aptitude Tests to the sophomores. These tests were designed to measure abilities in various areas and to aid students in finding suitable courses of study in preparing for suitable careers. By participating in clubs, committees, sports, and classes, and by accepting positions of leadership, the sophomores quickly gained a true sense of belonging and contributed to the spirit of West.

After a week filled with excitement and school spirit, the homecoming game on October 14, 1966, climaxed the activities. “War Party”, the homecoming dance, was held in the gymnasium on the evening prior to the game. Initiating the half time festivities were recognition of senior players’ parents and in¬ troduction of the senior players’ sponsors and escorts. The highlight was the announcement of the queen and her court. In honor of the queen, the choir sang, and the majorettes and Crystalettes presented baton and dance routines. The Indians ended homecoming with a victory over East. ntertaining those at the homecoming dance are Mr Fitz- The members of the homecoming court, having been chosen by popular vote, are Queen Judy Aderholt, Jan Bolick, Karen Woody, and Anne Armstrong.

From that day Finnish born, eighteen-year- old Harriet Landtman continued to draw more friends with her fervent smile and amiable personality. Living with her American “sister”, Lynn McClure, Harriet learned the customs of American family life. Active in the Student Council, both the French and the Latin clubs, and the Future Homemakers of America, she showed her eagerness to work and, most of all, to make friends. Harriet sometimes consults the dictionary in the library when confronted with words she does not comprehend. Driver education instructor Mr. Clouse instructs Harriet and explains the requirements of safe driving. At Douglas Airport, Harriet sports a cheerful grin as she is met by her new family and welcoming committee. Following a French Club meeting, Harriet and club president Mary Ramsey engage in friendly conversation. Clubs Perform Services, Entertain Members Numerous c lubs at West provided their members with entertaining and informative programs. Meet¬ ings were usually held one day each month to have programs or to plan projects. Several clubs partic¬ ipated in services such as staging a clothing drive, collecting food for needy families, and compiling stu¬ dent directories. Many clubs held special programs filled with en¬ tertainment and usually followed by refreshments during the month of December. The year was brought to a close by each club when parties or socials were planned and enjoyed. Dressed in costumes at the club’s annual Mardi Gras are French Club members Eddie Stiwalt and Dan Rothwell. Sammy Burgin and Terry Helms are among newly inducted students initiated at the Quill and Scroll picnic. As one of the Key Club’s service projects, Dan Rothwell helps park cars at the Mecklenburg County Fair.

Go!” After victory over Myers Park, Johnny Beatty congratulates Buddy Winters and Roy Sizemore as the team departs. Dennis Frazier, portraying the Harding Ram, builds spirit at pep rally before the West—Harding football game. Soars as Teams Excel Shouting their approval, students cheer as a West player makes an important goal in the game against Anson. During the Second Ward football game, Mrs. Foster, Mr. Westmoreland and Mr. Pearson watch as West uses its attack. Although sometimes hidden, school spirit is al¬ ways present in school life. School spirit can be con¬ sidered pride in school, but it is much more. Citizen¬ ship, friendship, and sportsmanship must be a part of school spirit. Cheering the team to victory is the most obvious illustration of school spirit. When stu¬ dents have a great deal of school spirit, others can feel as well as see that spirit is present. Few will ever forget the spirit shown at all the sports events, especially the pep rally preceding the West-Harding game, the West-Garinger and West-Myers Park foot¬ ball games, and the West-Anson basketball game. Composing the Tiger Paws, Larry Clark, Tim Eaton, Paul Osborne, Rodney Williams, John Hains, Paul Scott, and Delmar Williams entertain spectators at basketball intermissions. 167 Band Takes Part in Gala Carrousel Romp As the Indians attack Second Ward’s Tigers, Mr. Walsh and members of the band await half-time activities. Marching in Charlotte’s 1966 Carrousel Parade were the band, lettergirls, majorettes, and Crystal- ettes. Karen Woody was chosen by the student body to ride in the parade as West’s Carrousel Princess. As an important part of each football game, the band provided half-time entertainment. Marching with the band were the lettergirls, who aided in the performances. As a highlight the majorettes and Crystalettes presented routines. They also sat as a group during the game to aid the cheerleaders in lead¬ ing charges and victory chants. The lettergirls, Cry¬ stalettes, and majorettes performed at half-time dur¬ ing several basketball games. Sitting atop her float, Princess Karen Woody awaits the beginning of Charlotte’s 1966 Carrousel Parade. !

A field beside the school having caught afire during sixth period, students help the firemen unload a hose. Chaperoning at the Sadie Hawkins dance, Mr. Westmoreland, Mrs. Foster wear appropriate hillbilly costumes. 169 On the afternoon of the Christmas dance, Nanci Hipp and Willene Husband arrange the center floor decoration. Climaxing School Activity. To help build school spirit for the homecoming game against the Eagles of East Mecklenburg, a “War Party” was held on October 13, 1966. After the introduction of the football players, their spon¬ sors, and the candidates for homecoming queen, members of the faculty presented a skit in which they portrayed popular teen-age singers. The Dimen¬ sions provided the music for the dance. To commence the Christmas season, the Social Committee sponsored “Christmas Radiance” on December 15, 1966. Under a canopy of glittering icicles, students in semiformal attire danced to the music of the Tempests. A Sadie Hawkins Dance was held on April 14, 1966, with the music provided by the Shados. Prizes were awarded to the persons with most original costumes. After special entertainment, members of the Social Committee serve refreshments at the Sadie Hawkins dance. Class beauties are Roberta Killian, Cathy Raborn. Anne Armstrong. Gail Brown, Nanci Hipp, and Karen Woody. Socials Provide Entertainment for Student Body A dozen roses and a kiss from Student Council President Larry Harper go to Miss TOMAHAWK, Betty Joy. Steve Marks and Mary Ramsey entertain seated students with folk song’s at the spring Sadie Hawkins dance. Dressed as hillbillies, girls and the dates they are escorting dance to the music of the featured Shados. At the Christmas dance, Betsy Killian, Lewis Wilson and other couples dance on the sawdust-covered gym floor. 171 Four Receive Coveted Good Citizenship Awards 172 Recipient of the Civitan Award, treasurer David Strawn carries Student Council money from the school vault. Chosen by the faculty because of her outstanding citizen¬ ship qualities is D.A.R. award winner Cathy Navey. Four students were selected to receive good c itizen awards. Sophomore and junior best citizens were selected by classmates as the students who were outstanding citizens and who effectively aided their classes and school. Receiving the Civitan Award, presented annually by the Charlotte Civitan Club, was the senior elected by his class. The senior girl whom the faculty felt had exhibited qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism, received the D.A.R. award, an annual presentation of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Names of the Civitan and D.A.R. winners were placed on plaques in the front hall. Sophomore Class Best Citizen Mike Bass makes a Student Council report to fellow students in his homeroom. In the gymnasium Johnny Severs, Junior Best Citizen, takes drill shots during afternoon basketball practice. At the end of the assembly, honored juniors wait to sign their names as members of the Honor Society. New members of the National Honor Society enjoy pizzas after they have been kidnapped by the old members. Scholastic Accomplishments Merit High Honors Norman Taylor and Mary Ramsey escort new members Marcia Townsend and Jim Tevepaugh during the induction. Morehead Scholarship nominee Don Eggleston uses his slide rule to complete a problem for one of his assignments. In the spring juniors took the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Students with the highest scores became semifinalists. Finalists for the scholarship were determined by the Scholastic Apti¬ tude Test. The National Honor Society induction was carried out with the theme “Great Americans.” After speeches were given on scholarship, character, leadership and citizenship, the new members were escorted to the stage where they added their names to the roster. Don Eggleston competed for a More- head Scholarship which provides the selected recipient with a scholarship to the University of North Carolina. Selection was based on scholastic ability and extracurricular activities. Sammy Burgin and Marsha Springs, National Merit Scholar¬ ship Finalists, glance through a college catalogue. 173 Decorations Contest, Campaign Week, Barbecue During: his lunch period, Greg Morgan enjoys barbecue and a soft drink available to students on Barbecue Day. With the approach of the Christmas season, the Student Council sponsored a Christmas door decora¬ tion contest. Winners were chosen from the two categories, religious and secular. A week anticipated by all was campaign week. During the week, enthusiastic supporters cam¬ paigned for their candidates by making posters and wearing campaign tags. Climaxing the week was the assembly at which each candidate presented a skit and speech. On March 17, 1966, the P.T.A. sponsored the fifteenth annual barbecue. During the day students served barbecue plates in the cafeteria and helped with take-out orders. Phil Keener, a student working on Barbecue Day, assists Mr. Bolick and Mr. Clouse with the take-out orders. Putting finishing touches on award-winning “Hot-Rod Santa” is Kathy McKeon of Mrs. Holland’s homeroom. Sandra Greene, one of the Beta Club members working on Barbecue Day, struggles with boxes of barbecue plates. 174 Offer Varied Activities for Student Participation Before the Christmas holidays, Princess Blythe of Mrs. Atnip’s homeroom removes a winning: door decoration.

In the hall Debbie Lamb and Jerry Ritchie read a poster advertising the Boosters-Faculty basketball game. Photographer Brumfield discusses with David Beatty plans for a picture of the junior varsity football team. Before homeroom period, members of the annual staff sell pictures that were printed in the 1966 TOMAHAWK. 176 Le Year’s One Hundred Eighty Days of School Spanning the year were many noteworthy activi¬ ties ranging from Athletic Awards Day held in May, 1966, to the Boosters-Faculty game in November. A junior and sophomore assembly in April, 1966, cli¬ maxed a week of varsity cheerleader tryouts. Tryouts for junior varsity cheerleaders occurred the following September. The barbeque held in March was a suc¬ cess and an exciting day for all students. The publish¬ ing of the 1967 TOMAHAWK also brought about special events such as the making of class and group pictures.

The TOMAHAWK, the school yearbook, strove to provide a pictorial as well as a written account of the West High spirit. It included pictures and in¬ formation on the administration, classes, athletics, organizations, honors, and student life. Published monthly by students in the Journalism II class, the school newspaper, the BOW AND ARROW, presented news of current events. It also contained features and humorous articles as well as health surveys. ■mm ' 1 Buzzing with excitement, sophomores in homeroom look through the 1966 TOMAHAWK for the first time. During their lunch periods Barbara Simpson and Butch Hyder pause for a moment in the hall to sign annuals. Carole Graham, a member of the BOW AND ARROW staff, picks up papers to be distributed to students. Newspapers having been distributed in his sixth period class, Baxter Bridges reads the club news column. Students, Guests Enjoy an ‘Evening in Venice’ Carrying out the theme of “Evening in Venice,” Karen Woody and Harry Blythe help decorate for the prom. During November and December, the Junior Class sold Christmas cards to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. To boost profits a card sales contest was sponsored among individuals and among homerooms. The prom, an annual social highlight for juniors and seniors, was held on May 13, 1966, at Park Center. Carrying out the theme “Evening in Venice,” a gon¬ dola centered the dance floor. The Knights of Music from Shelby provided music, and guests enjoyed light refreshments during the evening. Included in the night’s activities was a special seniors’ dance. In line with other prom guests, Candi Robinson and her es¬ cort serve themselves at the refreshment table. As a Venetian scene centers the floor, guests at the Junior-Senior dance to songs played by the Knights of Music.

Render Service Through Participation in Activit ies As in previous years the TOMAHAWK honored Ten Outstanding Seniors. Elected by a student-fac¬ ulty committee, these seniors displayed attributes in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Years of unselfish service and dedicated work represented this honor. Each student elected possessed qualities which represented the ideals of West. Comprised of four seniors, one junior, one sopho¬ more, and six faculty members, the committee under¬ took the difficult task of selecting Ten Outstanding Seniors. After the committee members submitted their nominations, they voted by ballot for ten seniors to receive the honor.

For months the staff worked diligently to relay the enthusiastic liveliness which the Indians possess. To maintain a record of the year ' s occurrences, pictures were taken and text was written. Yielding vital assistance in journa¬ listic procedure was Mr. Bill Renfro, the Delmar Printing Company repre¬ sentative. Aiding in the photography were Mr. and Mrs. Jake Brumfield and Eddie Hartman. Giving much of his free time, Eddie took and developed many of the pictures in this volume. The staff strove to create a cherishable and factual record of the 1966-1967 school year. Acknowledgement and appreciation are extended to those individuals who were a part of The Spirit of West. —the Staff 225 226 Jbt 1 bocx j °{{ VbS-£} - lAj -j ji -o LjkM- CV 4j , 4 0 c ■ ' Otoe.
