Students chose courses from a wide variety of vocational and elective as well as required subjects. Five subjects were new to the curriculum. These included Afro-American culture, economics, sociology, fashion merchandising, and SAT social science seminar. Guidance counselors aided students in selecting courses which would greatly help them in the future and supervised the PSAT for juniors and the SAT for seniors. Faculty members chaperoned at dances, pep rallies, and sporting events, they also accepted the responsibility of the concession stand at basketball games.

Routine, Special Events Represent Student Life Routine and special events represented student life as the days, weeks, and months passed for students. Each day brought new and exciting experiences for those who participated actively in school life. Each student added to the unity of the everyday school spirit and life by taking part in various clubs, sports, and other organizations. Long classes, short lunch periods, laughter, bells, lockers, announcements - these things characterized an ordinary school day. Special events such as Homecoming, pep rallies, barbecue, dances, Tacky Indian Day, and Junior-Senior broke the monotony of the common experience of every day. Through each experience students found a special place. Executing a breast stroke as a member of newly-formed swim team, Lewis Guignard displays his swimming ability.

Setting new records, Indians worked together to win and to perform well. To the boys a variety of sports was available, including football, basketball, wrestling, baseball, golf, tennis, track, and cross country. Field hockey, basketball, and volleyball composed the program offered to the girls. Coaches also played a vital part in the success of the teams. These competent men provided the instruction and inspiration needed to win.

Students gained experience, worked together, offered service, and accepted responsibility through involvement. Club activities included service projects, lectures, field trips, inductions, and others specified by each club. Membership in curriculum clubs was limited to those students enrolled in a sponsoring course. In service clubs, students worked together to help others.

They served the school by providing transportation for many stu- dents and by promoting safety in driving. Responsibilities of the drivers included keeping their buses clean and well- conditioned. Bus drivers filled out weekly and monthly reports composed of bus attendance and mileage. Club members compiled a file containing class records of all eligible drivers. This file proved to be useful in finding substi- tute drivers. Members of the club visited Atlanta and Six Flags over Georgia in the spring. B. McCorkle, D. McCrorie, and S. Kiser keep daily bus drivers, records of routes, time, and unusual incidents.

As their high school career began, sophomores entered West with at least two goals in mind - to increase their knowledge and to make a place for themselves in the school. Usual confusion of the first day was overcome with the help of upperclassmen. Something new, a social and orientation, were held September ll in the cafeteria. The Cruel Deception provided musical entertainment, and the orientation com- mittee served refreshments. Mrs. Mary Harris and Mr. Patrick Webb, class advisers, and a hard-working committee made arrangements for the event. lt helped the students get better acquainted with the school and other students. Within the first few months, sophomores elected their class officers. Another task accomplished was taking the Differ- ential Aptitude Tests and Stanford.Achievement Tests in the spring. These helped to determine a vocation. Sophomores took courses such as world history, biology, English II, physical education, driver education, and some electives. As the year ended, sophomores had become a part of West through class attendance and study and through participation in activities.

Ki Juniors Find a Place, Fill Important Positions Bursting with enthusiasm, juniors came back ready to start a new and exciting year. First was the planning of the annual Junior-Senior Prom to be held on May 16, 1970, at Independence High School. Many hard hours of work were necessary to finish all decorations. Christmas card sales under the direction of Mr. Schrum financed the prom. Lugging these cards from class to class during October, November, and the first of December,juniors endeavored to reach their goal. Another activity undertaken was the selection of the class best citizen and class beauties. Also, outstanding students with scholastic and leadership abilities became members of the Honor Society, Key Club, and the Keyette Club. Next, on October 25, 1969, juniors faced the P.S.A.T. These tests prepared them for the college board tests in their senior year. Under the C.E.S.P. program,juniors obtained the chance to spend an exciting and interesting summer abroad by living with a foreign family. Possessing the traits of honesty and good citizenship and having taken two years of a foreign language were requirements for applying to be an exchange student. Anticipating class rings was exciting. Juniors waited anxiously for the day when they could finally order their rings.

Beginning with the first day, seniors felt the excitement and anticipation of their last year. Expressing pride in their class, seniors loyally supported all athletic events. September 12 marked an important day when seniors received their rings. Seniors enjoyed the privilege of selecting the Carrousel Princess, Miss Tomahawk, and Mr. and Miss West. The highlight came in December when the Senior Class chose a white carnation tipped in maroon as the class flower and Let us all be concerned with the future for we will spend the rest of our lives there as the class motto. Seniors also chose to give the school a senior patio adjacent to the cafeteria. ln order to Hnance the gift, the class once again sponsored the Spring Follies. On November 25 seniors prepared for graduation by ordering calling cards and announcements. College board examinations, given throughout the year, helped students toward their college entrance. Members of the Senior Class warmly welcomed Tina Hoeg-Hagen, foreign exchange student from Denmark. Tina participated in many extracurricular activities during her stay with the McMichael family. Juniors honored seniors at the annual prom held on May 16. Students danced to the music of Loonis McGlohen and his Orchestra at the Independence High School Mall. After a year filled with excitement and accomplishment, seniors proudly marched forward to receive their long-awaited diplomas on June 3 at Ovens Auditorium.
