RIGHT: During an exciting baseball game, 2 student rests his tired feet, waiting for the final out. A change in the students’ routine was effected by the re-scheduling of classes to begin at 7:30 a.m., an hour earlier than in years past. This resulted in increased tardies in first-period classes until students became accustomed to the new schedule. Although many grumbled about getting up before sunrise to come to school, most liked being dismissed at 2:10 each after- noon. After becoming accustomed to the new routine; studies; and, in many instances, different surroundings, the student body settled down for another year of learning and participation. Student life involved more than the special events — homecoming, pep rallies, music programs, and the Junior-Senior Prom. It includ- ed meeting friends in the hall, participating in sports, joining clubs, and helping on committees. Each day repeated the routine of students’ attending classes and rushing to the cafeteria for lunch. The fa- miliar sounds included “May | have your attention, please” and “Pardon this interruption” over the inter- com or the three rings of the bell for Mr. Ralph Line- berger to report to the office. Progress for the school year did not get under way until late in November when the first Executive Council meeting was held. or.

Bright spots were numerous as the season got under way. Following hard fought games, the varsity baseball team finished in a tie for third place in the state 4-A playoffs. The Jayvee baseball team won its second con- secutive city championship, posting the best record in the history of the school. Completing their season with four first place wins, the cross country team had three runners — Ronald Caton, John Day, and Randy Prunty — who made the all conference squad. Randy later competed in the state finals. With the arrival of fall came a complete change. Triumphs turned into defeats, jubilation became sor- row, and laughs reverted to tears as the varsity football team suffered through its worst season in nine years. Players showed their dedication through grueling hours of practice but fell short of their goal to win, posting a disappointing 1-8-1 record. Inexperienced in high school football, the Jayvees also had a frustrating season. In basketball the transfer of former Ram stando ut Donnie Lanier to West and three returning varsity players, had Coach Morgan Walker looking forward to his best season in several years.

Clubs, organizations start year slowly, support fund As a result of the new court-ordered assignment plan and since no officers could be elected to clubs and organizations in the spring, activities were almost nil at the beginning of the year. Although cheerleaders, flag girls, Indianettes, and majorettes were chosen in September, the clubs were slow to organize; and Stu- dent Council elections were not conducted until Oc- tober 13. Not until late in the second quarter did stu- dents truly begin to be involved and to have a sense of belonging. Everyone gained experience and satis- faction while working on mutual causes of service, enjoyment, and learning. Just as adults have their civic clubs, students had their service clubs — some sponsored by those same groups. Some clubs attempted to help the members decide what to do after high school. One common goal of a number of groups was the Charles W. Pearson Memorial Scholarship Fund. Clubs and organizations held car washes, attic sales, and paper drives to support this cause.

BELOW: Mark Samuel cuts a wedge of cheese in his French class as Jerry Gilson watches. Seeking to instruct students in scholastic areas, faculty members worked to impart knowledge gather- ed from their area of specialization. They attempted to create an atmosphere where those in their class could make the most of school. Helping in student-teacher relationships, the faculty assisted in the students’ de- velopment, thereby increasing mutual respect. In addition to their daily contributions, both the ad- ministration and the staff promoted extra-curricular activities. Faculty members sponsored clubs and organ- izations, performed duties at ball games, and super- vised at social events. Their willingness to help with the extra-curricular events made students recall more than the courses taught by them: they can remember with gratitude a teacher who provided a sense of values and a sense of humor, values that endure through life. One change in the curriculum appreciated by most seniors was the dropping of British literature as an English requirement. Interest courses were added in music and vocational areas. Schedules, candy sale, college applications keep classes busy during fall Anxious sophomores explored the halls of West Mecklenburg the first few days of school, trying to make the best of their situation. Meanwhile, juniors and seniors reacquainted themselves with friends and | school, settling down to their regular routine. During the first week, sophomores became accus- I tomed to different facets of high school life. They used . approximately ten minutes of every class to fill out forms. New students learned the do’s and don’ts of . classes and just what was expected in each. By the end of the week, sophomores were beginning to feel a part of the student body. Junior beginning-of-the-year activities included selling candy. The Junior Class Committee sponsored this activity as a means of financing the Junior-Senior Prom. During football season, juniors worked to pro- mote school spirit, staying after school weekly to make signs. Senior activities varied from preparing for home- , coming to electing class officers. Constructing the . longest spirit chain during Homecoming Week, seniors demonstrated their enthusiasm. Some of their more serious activities included writing colleges, completing applications, and waiting for replies. 10 ABOVE: To help in the Pearson Me- morial Fund, Melvin Crowder assists in the weekly paper drive.

BELOW LEFT: Financing of the TOMA- HAWK continues through winter, as bill receipts arrive weekly. 11 Beginning in August, the business staff sold advertise- ments as a means of finance for the yearbook. Using Septem- ber 11 and 19 as selling days, staff members, working in groups of twos and threes, searched sections of Charlotte and surrounding areas for buyers. Contracts, after com- pleted by the companies, were returned to Business Manager Brenda Cannon or Mrs. Peggy McCarter, business adviser. Feeling the effects of the eco- nomic situation, businesses either reduced the size of their ads or discontinued them al- together. The staff, also realiz- ing the change, was forced to limit new innovations planned for the 1975 TOMAHAWK. fomahawk 75 Negative changes were effected when the school board ruled that student elections be delayed until school opened in the fall. Members reasoned that some elected class officers, lettergirls, cheerleaders, and student council members would be transferred to other schools under the court-ordered reassignment plan. Four years ago under the same conditions, the board ruled that interim student council officers could be appointed in order that all schools | Dee. {| 3 12 1 the new realit would have a functioning student government organization during the summer months. This year no such ruling was made. Even though the changes were negative, shortly after school opened, elections and try- outs for Indianettes and cheerleaders were held. Students worked diligently to make up for time lost through the board’s decision. Student Council members began actively planning activities designed to make those re-assigned here become a part of West. 13 ABOVE: As Renee Cathy completes her vault, Lisa Smith and Mrs. Rohrman serve as spotters.

The purpose of the festivities was to spotlight activities in all areas of school life — aca- demics, activities, achievements, and abilities. Prepa- rations for the focus on the Dimensions of West began nearly a month prior to the week. Clubs, classes, orga- nizations, and faculty members worked diligently to assure success of the program. To kick off the week of festivities, Mrs. Mary Harris, who co-ordinated the activities; Montressa Barbee; and Herb Eplee appeared on WSOC-TV’s “Noon Report.” They discussed the program with commen- tator Ray Barreth. The TV station also covered activities during the week, using video footage onnews programs. programs. An open house for parents and the general public was held April 23. Displays of students’ projects were set up in each department. One attraction was a tea sponsored by the CHEO for the teachers the members worked with at elementary schools in the area. Mini- concerts by the band on the lawn each day at lunch and by the Westones in the library were other features. The horticultural students sold terrariums and hang- ing baskets during the week. Biology students sent up rockets with their own ‘“Mousetranaut.” The Art De- partment exhibited works in the showcase in the cafe- teria lobby.

They worked to ensure successful performances. Spring’s arrival was saluted with music May 2 as the Symphonic Band, led by Mr. Donnell Cooper, and the Olympic High School Stage Band presented the annual Spring Musicale. The major selection by the West Band was “Suite Concertante.” Selections by the visiting Trojans included arrangements of songs from the forties — “In the Mood” and “A String of Pearls.” The first-rate concert presented by the choir and Westones on May 7 would convince anyone that they were a multi-faceted group. “O Happy Day,” taken from a popular recording,was chosen as the theme of the program. Depicting a springtime setting, the stage was decorated with a bright colorful motif by the Wes- tones. Flowers and a calendar on the backdrop showed that spring had arrived! Five choir members performed solos. Cindy Jones sang the “Theme from ‘Valley of the Dolls’; later Herb Eplee presented “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother.” Patsy Pease was featured in “Feeling”; and Beth Rose, in “Sometime.” Teresa Burns, accompanied by the choir, concluded with the theme “O Happy Day.” ABOVE RIGHT: Before the Spring Concert, Cindy Underwood assists Caro!

Juniors plan nostalgic event, choose ‘Saturday in Memories of nostalgia, joy, festive moods and ten- derness will live for many years to come for those who attended the Junior-Senior Prom, May 17. “Saturday in the Park” was the theme for the special event. Supervised by Mrs. Jean Avery, prom adviser, the Junior Class Executive Committee worked to make the occasion memorable. Working until almost midnight on May 16, the underclassmen created the theme set- ting for the prom by transforming the Ranson Mall into a park complete with cherry trees and a park bench. From nine to twelve, the music of the Catalinas echoed throughout the mall. Couples danced, chatted, or enjoyed refreshments prepared by Mrs. Virginia Scott and her cafeteria staff. During intermission, offi- cers of both classes were introduced. Each senior who attended received an engraved charm to commemorate the evening. All too soon the midnight hour arrived, and couples hurriedly left to previously planned, rollicking post- prom parties. The next day Mrs. Avery and her junior committees wearily cleaned the mall while most seniors who had attended the prom slept late.

The school cafeteria was the scene of the gathering May 27. Different awards — varsity letters, certificates, and emblems — were presented according to the number of years a member was active in his respective sport. After the meal, award presentations were made by the coach of each sport and cheerleader adviser. Principal Freddy Leger assisted them. An unexpected recognition came to baseball team members. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Davenport, parents of the late Dave Davenport, gave them, the coaches, and assistants a gift in Dave’s memory. Having loved the game but being unable to take part, Dave was team manager before his death March 4, 1974. Highlighting the evening was the presentation of the coveted Rusty Meacham Award to Jackie Blair. ABOVE RIGHT: Coach Ron Patterson looks on as Tony Bouler accepts his plaque from Chris Young.

Attired in their maroon robes and caps and escorted by the junior marshals, members of the Senior Class marched into the auditorium to the strains of “Pomp and Circumstance,” played by the band. Senior Class Chairman Sherry Harris extended greetings to all the parents and platform guests. Following the invocation, Mike Hickman sang “The Lord’s Prayer.” Awards from area businesses were presented to Carol Guthrie, Terry Hord, Sammy McCord, and Vanessa Stephenson. The five Charlotte News All Star Scholars — Milton Auman, Libby Benjamin, Mike Hick- man, Steve Jackson, and Patsy Pease — received certif- icates of merit. Citizenship awards went to Libby Ben- jamin, Alan Capps, Steve Jackson, and Melia Lyerly. Following these presentations the choir sang two selections. After these, the school awards were given out. At the conclusion of the program, Principal Freddy Leger announced the ten top academic seniors. Since four seniors had tied for tenth place, thirteen names were announced.

Seniors presented ’74 yearbooks at class banquet Wrapping up their memories of work and fun, seniors enjoyed a class banquet on May 20 as one of their final get togethers when they received their ’74 Tomahawks. The banquet, which replaced the tra- ditional class breakfast, gave the upperclassmen an opportunity to receive their annuals early and to have them signed at a party after the banquet. Following the presentation of the first copies of the yearbook to Principal Freddy Leger and Einar Stenstal- vold, Representative Jo Graham Foster introduced Mr. Stan Brookshire, the former mayor of Charlotte and chairman of the Dimensions for Charlotte-Mecklen- burg Committee. Mr. Brookshire presented the Toma- hawk staffers a certificate in appreciation for their outstanding work in using “Quests for New Dimen- sions” as the theme of the annual. Newsmen from WSOC-TV covered the banquet and the award pres- entation. Yearbooks were distributed to the seniors, who, after finding their pictures in them, lingered to sign their friends’ annuals. Upperclassmen experience changes, new realities After experiencing many changes during the last three years, the 448 members of the 1974 graduating class looked ahead to the new realities promised by the future. As the 8:00 p.m. hour approached June 6, seniors ceased their nervous fidgeting of caps and tassels. While the Junior Mar- shals led them into Ovens Au- ditorium, the orchestra played “Pomp and_ Circumstance,”’ which traditionally suggests an ending to twelve years of school and signifies a new be- binning in the adult world with its uncertainties. Fulfilling one segment of their duties, marshals checked tickets carefully at the doors before anyone was allowed to enter. Even though seniors were given only four tickets, Ovens with its limited seating capacity was still filled with 24 parents — some sitting, some standing. Following a speech by Mr. Phillip James Kirk, personal aide to Governor Jim Hols- houser, seniors were presented their diplomas by _ Principal Freddy Leger. While the grad- uates received them, bulbs flashed as proud parents made pictures of the events. As the ceremony ended with Mike Hickman singing “Eternal Life,” changes in the school’s program became insignificant as seniors contemplated chang- es which the future held.

Those “crazy, lazy” days of spring sent the imagina- tion of many students scurrying from the ski slopes of Seven Devils or Beech Mountain to dreams of days at O.D. or other places. However, some were making plans to represent the school at Girls’ State, Boys’ State, Governor’s School, or workshops. Janice Brady and Tina Dixon took part in Girls’ State on the campus of UNC-G, while Paul Bradley and George Robinson attended Boys’ State at Wake Forest University. Anne Mozeley studied the violin and p er- formed with the orchestra at Governor’s School. Laurea O’Shields studied the latest journalistic techniques at a yearbook workshop at Furman University. For many, summer was filled with work, but others travelled to “Far away places with strange sounding names.” Brenda Cannon was the foreign exchange stu- dent to Finland. Chaperoned by Mrs. Jean Avery and her husband, thirty-five students went on a Carribean cruise. They left Charlotte on July 11 and traveled to Disney World. From there, they went to Miami where they boarded the T.S.S. Mardi Gras bound for ports on the Carribean; they returned to Charlotte on July 22.

McMillan spin- ning the wheel of fortune for the entire school system, sophomores and juniors did not know until early in August where they would be attending school. West was to lose in the total enrollment and in teacher allotment. All incoming underclassmen had to be guided over the campus, since many juniors had previously attended other area high schools. Sophomores and new students became familiar with the school at an open house held the day before school began. With the opening of school on August 26, students had to leave behind those “crazy, lazy days of summer.” Some had spent their vacation working, many at Carowinds theme park. Others had represented the school at Boys’ State, Girls’ State, Governor’s School, and at conferences. Several accompa- nied Mrs. Jean Avery on atrip to Disney World and on a Carribean cruise. Students, working, learning, and sharing, soon settled into their daily routine and began to cope with studies. For the first few weeks, they made out what seemed to be countless copies of their schedules. The sophomores also had pictures made for their I.D. cards; they needed them to check out books in the library.

According to Brenda she learned enough of the language to get by. During her stay she went to Helsinki and to the Artic Circle. Of the food, Brenda stated she liked most of it, and her favorite was hapankorpuja (a sour bread). Attending the school as foreign exchange student was Klaus Kristensen from Denmark. He became in- volved in school activities after arriving in August and served as the foreign exchange editor on the Bow and Arrow.

Landmark ‘tumbles down,’ ending era, challenges On November 4 a landmark, which had stood for approximately twenty- four years, came “tumbling down.” This was the tower erected when the school was built in 1950 to store the water supply for the student body. The tower had long been out of use be- cause the region had changed over the years from a rural one to a metropolitan area, and the school had been put on city water. No longer would the structure offer a challenge to students wanting to climb it to paint their class year on it. In some A . instances over the years, several suc- Faculty members Eddie McCarver, Fred ceeded.

At no time in history were changes more evident than in the ’74-’75 school year. Students lived through a first — the resignation of a President and a Chief Executive taking power whom the people had not elected. The name Watergate came to represent corruption in government, while the term “expletive deleted” became a joke. Students saw a national crisis as energy continued to be a big issue and as un- employment began to rise. The local scene was not without changes. Disclosure of an alleged “slush fund” led to an investigation of Southern Bell. Also, a World Football League found a home in Charlotte. Students still shivered because of the lower heat in the rooms caused by the energy crisis. Classes at 7:30, an hour earlier than previous years, caused them to arrive at school very sleepy.

The musicians and singers called their show a “Hootenanny.” Dressed in mountaineer clothing, the group performed ballads and spirituals. Featured on the program was Linda Estes who played “Shenandoah” as a flute solo. She was accompanied by Carol Troutman. Linda also played “Every Time | Feel the Spirit.” Gary Pope and Ronnie Huggins played two songs, “| Shall Be Released” and ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” as a guitar duet. Some of the selections by the choir included “Sing- ing on the Mountain,” “If | Had a Hammer,” and “Go Tell It on the Mountain.” Accompanists were Nita Lutz, Mark McIntyre, and David Morgan. Three girls — Nancy Blackburn, Susan Burrell, and Lori Stromberg — sang “A-round the Corner.” Con- cluding the program, the choir performed “On Top of Old Smokey.” TOP LEFT: Chorus members perform “On Top of Old Smokey” on their homemade instruments.

Cheerleaders sold maroon and white pom-poms while Spirit Committee members joined in the effort by spon- soring a spirit chain contest. On Stomp ‘Em Day all students were urged to participate by wearing “good — stompin’”’ boots. Suckers were sold on Lick ‘Em Day. A boisterous pep rally concluded the week of events. Meanwhile Mrs. Mary Harris and members of the Interclub Council worked together to develop a_ suitable theme. After much deliberation, they selected “Love Is tearaseit could involve all chartered clubs. Each organization painted a large banner which selected representatives carried onto the field at halftime.

New changes and old traditions marked the 1974 homecoming festivities. Preparations by members of the Interclub Council, begun weeks before November 1, culminated in a spectacular event at halftime. The Council’s first task had been to select a theme, and they chose “Love Is ...”” Members decided to depart from the tradition of not announcing the theme until halftime. This enabled all the groups to paint the name of their clubs or orga- nizations on banners which they would carry onto the field during halftime and to write their definition of “Love Is . . .,” which would be read over the public address system. Tension mounted as kick-off time approached. Would the Indians’ defense be able to hold back the aggressive Sabres? The young Tribesmen just couldn’t do it, but they did manage a 13-13 deadlock. The Jayvee cheerleaders, not the varsity, were responsible for leading the crowd in cheers. This was a departure from the established tradition. In an election by the seniors, five finalists — Mary Blair, Teresa Burns, Cathy McCall, Cynthia McMurray, and Dana Turpin were chosen as the homecoming court with Dana reigning as queen. 35 Don Smith, Steve Mozeley, Regina Lowery, Tyrone Massey.

Middleclassmen solve problem as class undertakes Junior Class members transformed into door-to-door salesmen for the candy sale which solved the problem of financing the only social event of the year — the Junior-Senior Prom. Students worked to win prizes donated by local merchants. More than once they were turned down after ringing a doorbell. But often, customers, remem- bering their own junior-senior days, willingly pur- chased the Whitman’s candy. An assembly for the class helped kick off the two- week sale. Mrs. Jean Avery and Mr. Vance Schrum, advisers, gave a pep talk to help motivate the juniors. In a skit, middleclassmen moaned they could not have a prom because of the lack of money. Dressed in a long cape, the Candy Man, alias Mr. Fred Kessler, came to their rescue. Announcing “Never fear, the Candy Man is here,” he proceeded to tell them how they could finance a prom and win prizes at the same time. Throughout the week, homeroom candy chairmen collected money and gave out ticket stubs. At the end of third period, Mr. Kessler announced the winning numbers, and excited students picked up prizes from Mr. Schrum. When the week of knocking on doors ended, Mrs. Avery’s students had topped the other homerooms. They enjoyed free meals at Hardee’s and McDonald's. Mike Hovis and Sharon Dimsdale won the grand prizes — ten speed bikes. Other juniors had upset stomachs from eating too much candy.

Spectators see parade with Indian participants The lines from the pop classic “I Love a Parade” were true for thousands of spectators as they watched the Carrousel Parade on Thanksgiving Day, November 24. Lining the parade route, the people enjoyed watching high stepping majorettes, precision marching bands, colorful floats, and beauty queens. As in previous years, the school was represented by the Marching Indians, cheerleaders, Indianettes, and a Carrousel princess. After submitting a picture and being interviewed by a faculty-student committee, Carol Guthrie was chosen to reign as princess. In spite of the two-mile walk over the parade route, the band, under the direction of Mr. Donnell Cooper, marched proudly as Gary Pope, drum major, led them. The majorettes, flag girls, cheerleaders, and Indianettes continued to smile and to display the maroon and white colors even though their feet ached. Included in the parade was Klaus Kristensen, foreign exchange student from Denmark. He and the exchange students from the other nine Charlotte-Mecklenburg high schools got a first hand look at a Carolina tradi- tion.

Seniors discuss requirements with representatives The second Post Secondary Op- portunity Day for seniors was arranged by the guidance coun- selors. Breaking the daily routine of classes on November 14, it gave seniors a chance to meet representatives from over one hundred colleges and universities, as well as technical and trade schools in the area. Students could’ discuss requirements, financial aid, and availability of scholarships with the representa- tives from these schools. Even though these things were asked most often, other items of con- cern to the seniors were the courses offered and types of activ- ities open to students.

Serving as master of ceremonies was Second Lieutenant Tim Helms. During the grand march, he announced the of- ficers, their dates, and queens of each high school. Robin Bolick and Sherry Johnston were recognized as _ co- queens from West. With formalities completed, every- one relaxed and danced to the music provided by the 108th Division Military Band. Refreshments were served dur- ing each intermission. When the clock reached twelve signifying the end of the ball, weary couples slowly filed from the mall. Some were reliving their memories of this, their last ball, while others were anticipating the possibili- ties of the next one.

Christmas season highlighted by plays, programs As the Christmas season approached, prepara- tions for special music programs and projects got under way. The orchestra, choir, and Westones began hectic preparations for their combined Christmas concert, December 12. The groups spent countless hours in after-school practice. The feeling of success erased all memories of being tired. Accompanied by the orchestra, the choir performed ‘Rockin’ St. Nick’ and other Christmas tunes. The Westones sang more seri- ous songs including “A Child’s Christmas.’”” Or- chestra members not only accompanied but were also featured in several numbers. The performers conveyed Christmas spirit to the audience. Adding to the goodwill, the Key Club and Civ- inettes journeyed to Green Acress Rest Home. While opening gifts, the elderly people enjoyed a comical version of “The Night Before Christ- mas” enacted by Key Club member Mike King. The members led in singing of old-fashioned Christmas carols and provided refreshments. ABOVE RIGHT: In preparation for film- ing, the French IV class hangs stockings on a prop chimney.

Students who had served as Red Cross volunteers and Candy Stripers offered their services. Students over seventeen years old and teachers were given the opportun- ity to donate a pint of blood. While many were enthusiastic about doing so, over twenty could not be donors be- cause of previous illness or blood de- ficiency. Being assured of free blood for family members was one factor that attributed to the numbers of partici- pants in the “Give-in,’” sponsored by the Red Cross Club. While the goal of one hundred pints was not met, the day was termed a success. Donors were aware that their blood possibly could save someone’s life in the future. Donors neither com- plained about missing classtime nor about being served refreshments.

Entertainers have big success with M A S H After many hours of memoriza- -¥ tion, staging, and after school re- — ae hearsals, the Drama Department, lA alias “The Entertainers,’” produced | the comedy M A S H . Tickets for the two performances, held Febru- _ ary 20 and 21, were sold during lunch in the cafeteria lobby. Shows began at 7:30 P.M. With Mrs. Peggy Horn directing the cast of talented actresses and actors, opening night proved to be a great success even though the auditorium was not filled to capac- ity. The amusing antics of Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John, or Tom Query and Gary Hunsucker, kept the audience laughing while Colonel Henry Blake, West Parker, was con- stantly battling to maintain his san- ity.

Club sponsors Foreign Language Week Sponsored by the French Club, Foreign Language Week was held February 24-28. Several activities were planned for the week. These included a sidewalk cafe featuring French pastries which students could purchase, a poster contest, and a banquet. “A Smile Means the Same _ in Every Language” was used as the theme of the poster contest. Ending the week was a banquet attended by members of the French and Spanish classes, who were join- ed by students in the foreign lan- guage departments at Harding High School and in the area junior high schools — Coulwood, Northwest, Spaugh, and Wilson.

Students receive awards for perseverance, talents Even though homework is often tedious and trying, those students who persevere always find their efforts are amply rewarded. Every year several students are elected to the Society of Distinguished American High School Students. Twelve students from this school were selected. They included Paul Bradley, Pam Bridges, Brenda Cannon, Julie Easterling, Lee Ann Elmore, Janet Gupton, Kathy Hart, Cheri Homzak, Barbara Leather- man, Jimmy Pinkston, Cathy Ramsaur, and Toni Smith. Selection is based on scholastic ability and extra-cur- ricular activities in school, church, and community. Receiving a first-time award for a girl enrolled in ROTC was Connie Bennett. With a record of outstand- ing merits, she was recognized for her good citizenship by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Two students found their long hours of practice re- warded. Ann Mozeley and Amy Moore were recogniz- ed for their musical ability. Ann, for the second year, was chosen as a member of the All-State Orchestra.

Building of a new field house, needed for many years, was finally approved by the school board. Completed in the spring of 1974, it made facilities available for all teams. Coach Ronald Patterson’s cross country team had an excellent season, highlighted by the first victory over Myers Park in eighteen years. Mr. Clyde Peek’s retirement necessitated 50 a the new realit the appointment of a head football coach. Mr. Eddie McArver, the new head coach, worked with assistants Donny Lemmond and Richard Jones. The team toiled with new uniforms, equipment, and the wishbone offense. Newton- Conover — a team previously not on the schedule — was added to the varsity slate. An abrupt reality faced West with the crushing defeat by Harding 14-6 at the beginning of the season. This was the first loss to the Rams in nine years. | o2 Indians knock off Mustangs in division playoff game After the loss of their first two conferencé games, the varsity baseball Indians had to really put it all together to be a contender for the 1974 season. Behind a fine pitching staff, headed by Kevin Staley and Terry Wentzel, and a defense that was practically errorless, the team rallied to eventually win the Divi- sion Ten conference championship. The title was taken after a sudden-death playoff with cross-town rivals Myers Park. After losing one game to the Mustangs, the Indians rose to the occasion, defeating them on the Myers Park home field. Hitting was a strong point. The squad had a fine team batting average. With shortstop Danny Clouse and second baseman Dennie Cashion leading the way, clutch hits came consistently throughout the season. In winning the division title, the team represented the conference in the state playoffs, held in Durham. Getting off on a winning note by defeating North Dur- ham helped make things look up. The next victim of the Tribe was Parkland High School. Taking these first two games and advancing to the semi-finals, hopes of bringing home the state championship were relin- quished by a loss to Durham High School. ws a After ripping a line-drive single to Harding’s left fielder, Steve Irvin dashes to first base.

Winning their second consecutive city cham- pionship, coaches .Vance Schrum and Charles Boone created a triumphant spirit which paid off. _ Mistakes were practically nonexistent through- out the entire nineteen-game schedule. Oppos- ing teams found a minimum of weak spots in the Indians’ offense or defense. Hitting was a par- ticular strong point. The team posted a batting average of .301, an exceptional mark even for the best teams. Helping to uphold this excellent mark were many individual stars. One of the seven Jay- vee players who led the way with a .300 average was shortstop-pitcher Ricky Tamson supporting an average of .373. Others who also helped main- tain the mark included sophomore center fielder Keith Porter with a .353 average; Tony Anderson batting a .349; and Roland Killman, a .347. Complementing the excellent hitting, defense was no problem. Both outfielders and infielders played a consistent, well-executed defense, back- ing a pitching staff that had talent as well as depth. The muscle to the staff was southpaw Joe Benton, earning a record of six wins and three losses. Backing up Benton was Tamson, a fine relief hurler. Tony Anderson, right-hander, was the other starting pitcher. These formed the nucleus of pitchers. Others who contributed to the power on the mound were Tim Owens and David Woods. Hoping for a fifth-inning hit, centerfielder Keith Porter clutches his bat with deter- mination. FIRST ROW: Tony Ander- son, Jimmy Smith, Roland Killman, Steve Smith, Keith Porter.

Se 56 Speed advances trackmen to third place title in state Inspired by individual stars, the 1974 track team went on to set records in many events. Senior Tony Bouler provided the strongest scoring punch as he broke the conference record in the hurdles. Sprinting speed was added by team captain James Easter, another record holder. Tyronne Carr led field participants as he finished among the best in the city in the discus throw event. Other outstanding and consistent per- formers were William Bidgood, Anthony Parker, Randy Prunty, and Billy Wallace. Record books were re- written as Tribe members broke or tied eight school records. Statewide recognition was won by record-setting performances, and high scores were repeatedly posted by the Indians. The team carried hard-earned honors to Hendersonville, the site of the western regionals, and returned with a sixth-place finish. The determina- tion and hard work, evident throughout the season, proved worthwhile as the trackmen finished as the third-place team in the state.

Their hardwork was reward- ed with a five-way victory over Myers Park, Garinger, Fast Mecklenburg, and’ Independence high schools. Representing the school in the district meet, the girls took second place and third place in the conference meet. Many outstanding athletes made up the team. Mon- tressa Barbee, running the 220, qualified for state sec- tionals. Others qualifying for the same event were Jacque Bradshaw, running the hurdles, and Cheri Hom- zak, throwing the discus.

Starting the season with many interested racketmen, the Indians seemed to endlessly search for a victory. Facing strong opposition with much more experience early in the season, the tennis team continuously post- ed weak scores. Court experience that was obtained as the season began eventually proved to be helpful as individual match play improved. Late in the season, the racqueteers were determined to find a victory. Facing Westside rival Harding, the team posted its first and only win. Although some strong performances were demon- strated by different players throughout the year, the team had no outstanding stars. All of the players did work hard and managed to win two or three matches individually. 1974 Boys’ Tennis Independence South Myers Park Hickory North Mecklenburg East Mecklenburg WOW WO WO © West 1 Ashbrook 8 West 1 Asheville 8 West 2 Olympic .

This gave the golfers an opportunity to compete in the city sectional tournament where they placed fifth in a field of fourteen teams representing other schools in the area. Practice on local courses helped prepare the team for its matches at River Hills Plantation. Bad weather, which frequently was the order of the day, put the dampers on the team scores. Doug Grier fired a 73 while Mike Sheppard carded 75. Another player shooting in the 70’s was Andre Springs, who contributed to the team’s showing. Mem- bers worked extra hard and in som e matches looked strong. Extra time at practice and effort on the part of each golfer and Coach Donny Lemmond brought forth some creditable scores and excellent performances.

Placing first in four of their initial five meets, the Redmen eventually ended the year by missing by only one place to qualify for the state meet. Because of the injury of all- conference runner David Stikeleather, the fleet dis- tance runners placed a disappointing third in the conference meet before coming back to take third place honors in the district meet. In addition to Prunty and Stikeleather, John Day also received all-conference recognition for his success on the district circuit. In the conference, the Redmen captured three of the top five places on North’s 3.0 mile course. At the district meet, on West Charlotte’s 2.9 mile layout, the Indians took the top four notches and achieved a season best score of eighteen points. These two meets, back-to-back, best exemplified the overall progress of West Mecklenburg’s harriers in 1974.

Be- ginning the year under new head coach Eddie McArver, the staff installed the wishbone offense. Indian coaches felt this usually potent running game would provide the scoring punch needed. Inex- perience in the new alignment proved fatal as mistakes were repeatedly made in ball handling and in blocking. Fumbles halted many scoring drives several times throughout the season. Though usually weak, the backfield showed signs of promise with speedy Albert Evans and Barry Sullivan as ball carriers. Inside running strength was provided by fullbacks Robin Tench and Steve Winters. Quarter- backs Kevin Staley and Robin Reavis often found running alleys closed and were forced to rely on a mediocre passing attack. Sophomore John Thomas and junior Billy Wallace caught passes consistently. The lack of a quick scoring threat weakened offensive effective- ness. Underclassmen played extensively on the varsity team. Coaches hoped that this would instill the ex- perience needed to run a successful wishbone attack.

The squad was led by captains Danny Clouse and Mike Gresham. AI- so adding to the speed and strength on the line was guard Wesley Froneburger.

Because of a small turnout, coaches Vance Schrum and Morgan Walker were forced to mold a team. Following the season opener, John Thomas and Steve Winters were moved to the varsity squad by coach Eddie McArver, weakening a potentially power- ful backfield. Halfback Greg Williford ran the ball con- sistently well throughout the year, complementing a strong passing attack. Jerry Ealy and Darrell Hampton were the prime targets of quarterback Kevin Tackett’s aerial barrage. Though strong at times, the offense was never able to establish the consistency necessary for a successful season. Faltering defensive play also plagued the Tribe. Late in many games, the defense weakened and gave up points that made comeback attempts unsuccessful. From his linebacker position, Eddie Wright strength- ened the squad, along with strong performers Ray- mond Jordan and Eddy Roland.

Girls’ team reorganizes; squad expands schedule After experiencing encouraging response in other girls’ sports, the Athletic Department reinstated volley- ball as a winter activity. The sport was discontinued at the end of the ’72-’73 season because of a lack of interest. Coach Barbara Rohrman built the squad around co-captains Lisa Smith and Cheri Homzak. Opponents received consistantly strong serves from senior Lisa Smith. The girls began the ’75 schedule by traveling to Harding for their first afternoon match. Dressed in new uniforms, the netters returned with two victories and two defeats, earning them a second-place finish. Enthusiastic play continued throughout the schedule and brought the Indians a record they could be proud of in their first season.

After beating Asheville, the Tribe advanced to the semi-finals at the UNC-C Mine Shaft. Harding extinguished the red-hot Indians in a hard-fought battle that exposed the real skill of the individual players. The ’75 squad was built around a nucleus of three returning varsity players. Leading scorer Kevin Staley supported the team average of 66 points per game. From his guard position, Staley delivered key baskets and finished the season with a 15-point average. After off season knee operations, returning senior Steve Cassell played excellently in the pivot position. Anthony Parker and Willie Robinson assisted Cassell in controlling offensive and defensive boards. The only junior starter on the squad was Donnie Lanier, a streak shooter who compiled an important 9-point scoring average of the year. Guards Michael Pompey and Robert Stitt quarterbacked the Redmen.

Coach Donny Lemmond fielded a competitive squad from a large sophomore turnout. Diligent workouts and determination were used to develop the winning team. All Jayvee victories can be attributed to a total team effort. The well-rounded squad included a number of excellent players. Joe Black coordinated efforts on the court from his guard position. His leader- ship qualities were valuable in working the ball for the best shot. Jerry Faley, the strongest defensive player, teamed with John Thomas to provide a strong rebounding core. Tyrone Davis was the leading scorer for the junior varsity. Kevin Tackett, the most versatile player on the team, played both guard and forward throughout the season.

Highlighting the wrestling season were individual performances. Danny Clouse and William Coffey led the team with consistently good showings. John Day, a senior, won his regional matches at Independence in the 145-pound weight class. This earned him the right to compete in the state tournament, where he was eliminated. Other strong grapplers included Bruce Justice, John Carothers, Jerry Handy, and Mike Caudill. The team, as a whole, experienced a disappointing season. Though losing many matches, the scores were often close. Coach Eddie McArver was pleased with the large turnout this season. Using the twelve sophomores wisely, he was able to fill all weight classes and avoid forfeits. Inexperience plagued the young grapplers early in the season. Improvement was made as the schedule progressed through afternoon workouts and actual mat experience. These matmen should provide an excellent core for the ‘76 team. 76 1975 Wrestling West 30 Independence 36 West Bae East 35 West 37 West Charlotte 27 .

These athletes were not only noticed by their own coaches and fans, but by sports- writers and other coaches as well. Awarded to these young men were such titles as All- County, All-Conference, and All-State performers. Being placed in one of these categories was a great honor and winning a title as such was an incredibly hard task. A person had to work and strive to perform well himself as well as with the team. This created character and determination which only an exceptional performer could develop. Holders of the titles mentioned were carefully screened and voted upon according to individual sta- tistics, which had to be proved exceptional before one was even considered. The athlete also had to have the backing of his own coach as well as respect from his opponents. te t Showing his experience as an All-State © � trainer, Danny Poole readjusts a play- : er’s helmet. et SENNA AL ATE 78 In the on-deck follge(=y All-County Catcher Robin Tench prepares himself before going to bat.

During the spring of 1973, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes was organized and, ina relatively short time, became the most active group associated with the school. Yet, lack of participation and interest caused membership in several organizations to decline steadily. Even though the school board ruled that transportation be provided for students participating after school in clubs, organizations, the new realit and athletics, few took advantage of this service. This change brought out the realization of apathy among the student body. However, clubs and organizations did work together to help begin a memorial to the late Mr. Charles Pearson, who had taught English here for twenty-two years before his death June 10. The National Honor Society coordinated its efforts with the faculty committee which had established the scholarship fund in honor of Mr. Pearson. s4 = a7 24 : Ed a 3 a $4 i = i ¢ : Cheerleaders work hard, produce dance routines, purchase new uniforms Combining hard work and long hours of practice paid off for the varsity and the Jayvee cheerleaders. Adding a variety of modern dance routines, they tried to create an atmosphere of spirit and enthusiasm at the games and to invoke spirit into the student body. Also, the girls made up several new cheers; two favorites were “Standing on the Verge” and “Agitate Your Mind.” Members of both squads were faced with students having a severe case of ‘“apathetics” because of the losing record of both football teams. Attempting to revive the student body out of the doldrums, the “yell-leaders” planned pep rallies and produced unique programs. However, their smiles, shouts, and stomps were often not enough to liven the spirits of the spectators. In an effort to up-date their uniforms, the varsity squad chose a new design — pleated skirts with maroon and white plaid inserts and a vest trimmed with the plaid. This gave them a western look. Because of a low budget, a fund raising drive to pay for the uniforms was necessary. The girls sold maroon and white pom-pom shakers during homecoming and candles at Christmas. The basketball season had a number of high spots for the girls as the varsity roundballers began by winning four consecutive games. As the school year ended, the girls were recognized for their dedication and support of the sports program at the annual athletic banquet in the spring.

The flag girls, Indianettes, and majorettes, marching gracefully in precision style, added color, sparkle, vim, vitality, and enthusiasm to football halftime performances. In addition to these halftime shows, the girls performed dance routines during pep rallies and marched in local holiday parades. The Indianettes drilled after school several days a week, developing precision, coordination, rhythm, and perfection in all their moves. To add a flair to their dances, they combined cartwheels, hand stands, splits, and other acrobatics into their performances. The flag girls worked out routines which they per- formed with the band, changing from a traditional marching group to a performing one. The most popular dance which the flag girls and Indianettes perfected was done to the music from “The Sting.” They also attended the basketball games and helped boost the team by cheering. ' Majorettes added new dimensions to halftimes per- formances by using their batons to illustrate modern music. They highlighted their act with fire batons and featured twirlers. Another change was the addition of a mascot to the Indianettes and flag girls. Amanda Barbee marched and performed with these groups. 85 LEFT: Indianette Carol Guthrie boogies to music of the band at the game against Myers Park.

Fellowship gains spiritual insight with Bible study Meeting on Monday nights, members of the West Fellowship participated in Christian harmony. The sessions con- centrated on studying the Bible, witness- ing, and singing. The group was formed so participants could gain spiritual insight. Power of praise affected the lives of these students who learned the joy of developing’ into spirit-filled Christians. One aspect of their meetings was group discussions in prayer. They also listened to tapes, records, and guest speakers. Be- cause of their interest, the group began the informal prayer group which met in the student: lounge before class each morning. Evidence of the increasing popularity of leading the “abundant” life included the devotional each day via the intercom.

Members join in fellowship, prepare service projects In an effort to join in Christian fellowship and to show their beliefs, a number of students became Bible Club members. The purpose of their club was to teach young people to practice the Biblical teaching of being helpful to others. Members met twice a month to have fellowship and to plan projects of interest and help- fulness; the club tried to have a service project every month. A trip to Presbyterian Hospital’s pediatrics ward for a Halloween party highlighted their year in service. Other activities included a trip to Lineburger’s Fish Camp for fellowship, fun, and food. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, members took small favors to a rest home and visited with the patients. In an effort to support their activities, the club voted to sell stationery, greeting cards, and note paper. By helping people, these students learned more about themselves and also the importance of the quotation “by giving you shall also receive.” TOP LEFT: Bible Club president Cathy Ramsaur proposes service projects for the upcoming months.

Adding dimension to language education, the French and Spanish clubs familiarized students with the customs and cultures of French and Spanish speaking people. The French Club made and sold key chains in the cafeteria lobby during lunch as a fund raising project. Also with the help of the Science Club, they sponsored a paper drive. Proceeds from both of the projects were contributed to the Pearson Memorial Scholarship Fund. At Christmastime members watched a home- made movie from the poem, “The Night Before Christmas,” that the French III class prepared. The Spanish Club, which was open to any Spanish student, exposed its members to the various customs of the Spanish people. A bake sale was held in December to raise money for their club. Members prepared their baked goods in the Home Economics Department and sold them at Freedom Drive Mall. This club also contributed the money made from this project to the Pearson Memorial Scholarship Fund. TOP RIGHT: Mrs. Pappas ties Vicki Barret’s hair as she works making cookies for the bake sale.

Candi- dates were allotted time to make speeches over the intercom; however, few took advantage of it. Most did their campaigning via posters. Ginger Griffin was elected secretary-treasurer but a run-off election between Charlie Smith and Rhonda Kelley for president and Ellen Williford and Gary Hunsucker for vice-president was necessary. This was conducted October 17 with Charlie and Ellen winning the run-off. Perhaps the lateness in conducting elections caused the lack of interest in the Student Council. Few meet- ings were held, and the number of activities dwindled as students seemed to have the “apathetics.”” While races were maintained for those desiring posi- tions of honor, and offices held sparkle for those desiring the limelight, most students remained “in the wings.”” Even though votes were cast and students took office, little evidence of their efforts were seen. When the ‘Tomahawk’ went to the printer February 28, the Sophomore Class had not elected officers for the 1974-75 school year. sey Cassell, Lester Worthy, Terrie Diggs, Rhonda Kelley, Charlie Smith, Ellen Williford, Ginger Griffin, Eric ields.

Although the committee’s membership was open to all students, only twenty-five girls joined. They met every Monday to prepare posters, signs, and banners that announced the up-coming sports events. They posted these throughout the school; and on the nights of games, they were responsible for transporting the signs to wherever the team was playing. They attempted to bolster the morale of the team and of the student body. In preparation for homecoming, this committee joined with the cheerleaders to plan “Spirit Week.” Throughout the week, they sold spirit strips to seniors, juniors, and sophomores who competed to form the longest chain. On Wednesday of that week, the com- mittee sold suckers to symbolize “Lick ‘Em Day.” As the grand finale, a pep rally was planned; and the girls presented to the student body the footabll players’ ideas on “Love Is...” February 14 marked one of the committee’s final activities of the year: an appreciation party for the basketball players. During fifth period team members were served punch and cookies. up Spirit Committee TOP RIGHT: David Motley helps dec- orate cars for the spirit train going to the homecoming game.

Some of the innovations incorporated into the annual included action shots of clubs instead of group pic- tures; the staff attempted to cover all club events. In- cluding a directory for clubs and organizations and a fold-out which featured the Marching Indians were other changes. After meeting four deadlines, the staff reflected on the hectic months spent compiling the pages that, when bound, recorded another year of West Meck- lenburg history. Staffers could remember the eerieness of being the only ones in a deserted building at night and the trips to Hardees at 6:30 for french fries. They could laugh over the hundreds and hundreds of unidentified underclass pictures which they received from the photographer. Also, they could forget their disappointment over pictures which a staffer did not make of some special event and the long hours spent after school because the final product made their attempt to attain perfection worthwhile. Winning two of the highest national awards for high school publications, the ‘74 Tomahawk received the Medalist rating from Columbia Scholastic Press and an A+ award from the National School Yearbook Asso- ciation. Because of these recognitions, the ’75 staff was faced with the challenge of keeping up the award- winning tradition of the Tomahawk.

Business staffers were excused from classes on September 11 and 19 to call on the re- maining firms in their assigned areas. An individual goal of selling one hundred dollars of ads was set for each of the twenty staffers. Even though they were four hundred dollars short of their total goal, Mrs. Peggy McCarter, business staff adviser, felt their efforts were successful because of the tight money market. Business staff members were also responsible for tak- ing orders for the 1975 “Tomahawk” and for distribu- tion in the spring. Business Manager Brenda Cannon and her assistant, Janet Moore, organized the copy of the advertisements sold and prepared them for print- ing in the annual.

They made noticeable changes in the news- paper format. Using a new printer — Wing Publications — the staff was able to publish more and larger issues. Also, a creative writing column — Indian Inkings — was continued. A new section — “Klub Korner” — gave information on the activities of clubs and organi- zations. Editor-in-chief Kathy Hart attended a WBTV High School Convocation, October 18 featuring Miss Cicely Tyson, award winning television and movie actress. Kathy, Kim Burns, and Ginger Griffin attended a seminar at Knight Publishing Company, January 25 covering new laws and new Supreme Court interpreta- tions of existing laws concerning the first amendment. Staffers exchanged papers with thirty high schools in North Carolina and other states. Because of the rising cost of postage, it was necessary to reduce the number of exchange papers. Students were encouraged to write letters to the editors on matters concerning the student body. TOP RIGHT: Gary Hull, business man- ager, completes carbon copies of ad- vertising contracts.

The one area on which the cubs were entirely in charge of was the new column “Klub Korner.” They reported activities of the clubs and organizations in the column. Cubs assisted “Bow and Arrow” staffers by gathering the news, compiling it, and writ- ing and rewriting until they were satisfied with it. Other areas in which they assisted were selling ads, thinking of feature ideas, laying out the paper, and doing “leg work” to get stories. The last issue of the newspaper was done entirely by the cubs who were now full- fledged editors looking forward to the com- ing year when they would have cubs assign- ed to them.

They learned to choose pictures to portray the “story of West” and to crop them. Classwork before the juniors were assigned to senior editors involved learning journalistic principles and trends in yearbook journalism. They did this through working in class and by examining award-winning annuals from other schools. After the ’75 annual went to the printer, the junior assistants, realizing they were responsible for publica- tion of the next yearbook, set about to choose a theme and to keep up with spring happenings so these could be included in the ’76 ‘Tomahawk.’ TOP RIGHT: As the last pages of the annual are turned in to Delmar, Mary Mattox shows relief.

FCA retains active schedule as membership grows Organized only last year, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes was one of the most active groups on campus. Made up of twenty-two young men, advised by Coach Clyde Peek, the group’s purpose was to generate Christian fellowship and to bring athletes closer to God and to one another. Danny Poole was president of the local FCA, which was chartered by the national organization. Each mem- ber had lettered in at least one sport. They met weekly to plan activities to help others. During the year club members visited local churches and led the worship services. A special one was pre- sented at Durham Memorial Baptist Church where they witnessed and gave personal testimonies. Another service project was a visit to the Strawn Apartment to present a program to the elderly residents. Guest speakers also visited with the club members. Highlighting the club’s activities was the annual banquet held in the spring which helped strengthen their fellowship.

The group chose one which added style and elegance to their appearance. The girls wore long white dresses while their male counterparts wore burgundy slacks, white long-sleeved shirts, and burgundy ties. The Westones chose long white dresses for their attire. Members tried hard to prove capability under the leadership of a new director, Mrs. Ann Beach. Their first public appearance was November 21 when they presented a Hootenanny to third-period classes. Dressed appropriately, the group chose music to fit the theme. Special guest artists Ronnie Huggins and Gary Pope, accompanying themselves on guitars, sang several selections. Other changes in the Fine Arts Department were WESTONES: Mrs. Ann Beach, Barbra Price, Lynn Coleman, Joy Eppes, Carol Troutman, Cindy Underwood, Joyce Ledbetter, Yvonne Williams, Teresa Burns, Robbin Kilgore, Amy Dale, Molly Hall, Beth Rose.

He worked with several promising students each day in the auditorium, thereby helping improve the quality of their performance. The choirs, Westones, and orchestra combined to present a holiday program — “Christmas—Past and Present” — on December 12. This was the first joint effort for both groups. Talent and enthusiasm were just two of the ingredients which helped create a successful program. Special selections included Handel’s “Pas- toral Symphony” from THE MESSIAH, Mozart’s “Aus- trian Sleigh Ride,” and “Do You Hear What | Hear?” Beginning the new semester, the groups began plan- ning for spring presentations, culminating a year of learning and entertaining. 104 FCA retains active schedule as membership grows Organized only last year, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes was one of the most active groups on campus.

Marching Indians add color, sparkle to games The Marching Indians, eighty members strong, under the direction of Mr. Donnell Cooper, marched and paraded proudly down the football field. Reduced in number because of student transfers to other schools under the new court-ordered desegregation plan, the band had to work extra hard to overcome this. Led by drum major Gary Pope, whom Mr. Cooper called one of the best in the history of West, the : musicians added sparkle to halftime shows and Ppa- i ish rades. Gary, the majorettes, flag girls, Indianettes, and individual bandsmen combined their talents to provide high-spirited entertainment for those who gathered to aS Ree watch at the Carrousel Parade and the Mt. Holly Christmas Parade. When winte? came the concert season arrived. With it came the long practice sessions which added new tunes to concert repertoire. The bandsmen, perform- ing for the entire student body on December 18, were featured in their annual Christmas program. They played traditional seasonal songs with a special ar- rangement of “Jingle Bell Fantasy.” Following the holidays, they began work on technical studies. They endeavored to improve their skills in anticipation of their spring concert. 105 : a er ey NR LEFT: The crowd focuses its attention FIRST ROW: Carol Benton, Molly Hall, Marcy Richardson, Gary Pope, Cathey Snider, Cathy Crane FOURTH ROW: Lib Sloan Rodne on the band as it performs “Some- Nancy McLaurin, Kathy Jackson SECOND ROW: Mr. Donnell Dellinger, Terry Dawkins, Ricky Holland Denise Conner Chris Sadler where Over the Rainbow.” Cooper, Carol Guthrie, Denise Maxwell, Phyllis Faust, Vontina Glenn Dunn, Johnny McCall, Geoffrey Gillespie TamiGuinn Ronnie.

Known as HERO — Home Economics Related Oc- cupations, the group led an active year. Open to students in the CEO or the CHEO programs, the club members built a haunted house at Tuckaseegee Fle- mentary School and sponsored a party for students in the three elementary schools — Pawtuckett, Tuck- aseegee, and Thomasboro — where they served as aides. Students made articles and baked goods which they sold to members of the faculty and student body. The clubbers used the proceeds to sponsor a Christmas party for the children at Head Start. The group toured the Instructional Media Center, Irwin Avenue Open School, and Myers Park Ele- mentary Traditional School. They also were presented valentines from their “students.” Their spring fund raising project was a candy sale. In an attempt to recruit students for the course in the 1975-76 year, students made pictures and prepared a slide presenta- tion of members working with children at the three elementary schools.

Both groups inducted new members in the fall. Six girls were initiated into the Civinettes, and fifteen boys became new Key Clubbers. Joint efforts by the clubs included sponsoring a faculty car wash, Novémber 4, and the wheelchair basketball game, December 7. Proceeds from the game were donated to the Pearson Memorial Scholarship Fund. They also visited Green Acres Rest Home during Christmas season. Members entertained the residents there. Projects of the Key Club included manning check points in the North Carolina Diabetes Bike-a-Thon, November 17, and purchasing a new trophy case to replace the old one in the gym. Members placed a plaque in the case honoring the late Dave Davenport. They also sold candy and made name plaques for the wrestlers and members of the basketball team. The Civinettes sold fruit cakes and programs at the football games. They also were responsible for operat- ing the concession stand during basketball games.

At the District Leadership Conference, October 29, Carol Guthrie was elected president of the District DE Club and placed second in the Miss DECA Contest. Members took part in the Young Man and Woman of the Year Contest, February 4. Finalists were Carol and Richard Jackson. Students traveled to Asheville, March 14 for the State Leadership Conference. Other activities the DE Club participated in were a candy sale, a boutique, and the Boss of the Year Con- test. They also attended an area Bosses’ Banquet, April a: Another occupational club — the Cooperative Of- fice Occupations — also undertook a number of ac- tivities.

Many drivers ran double routes; they transported students to West and then returned to pick up the elementary and junior high students. They repeated this run each afternoon. | Even though the drivers had to keep the buses clean, to keep time cards, and to keep mileage and attendance information, many students con- tinued to sign up for the bus-driving classes, which were held throughout the year. With the return to Daylight Savings Time, drivers had to be extremely careful because of transporting students in the darkness. Drivers planned an off-duty outing by challeng- ing members of the AFJROTC to a basketball game February 6. The cadets won by a 39-11 score.

Hup-two-three.. .” Contrary to popular belief, the Junior ROTC program included other things besides marching. In addition to regular classroom activities taught by Lieutenant- Colonel Joe H. Banks and Master Sergeant Paul Guy, students enrolled in ROTC participated in a varied list of projects and activities. In December the cadets attended the annual Military Ball for all area high’ school ROTC units. Robin Bolick and Sherry Johnston were chosen to represent the West Mecklenburg cadets as queens. Field trips for the AFJROTC included a visit to nearby Morris Field on December 18. Here, the cadets boarded a C-130 Hercules for an orientation flight. They made two trips to Shaw Air Force Base, Sumter, South Carolina. In October they attended an open house and an air show. On February 28, they toured the base. These trips gave them a general understand- ing of the Air Force and of procedures as well as added realism to classroom discussion. A first for the ROTC units in the Charlotte-Mecklen- burg schools was the appointment of a girl as junior flight commander. This honor went to Connie Bennett of the West Mecklenburg AFJROTC. 116 FOP RIGHT: Larry Stewart is deter- | mined to do one more pull-up during the ROTC field day.

Clubs plan projects, field trips, activities Two groups — the Science Club and the Political Science Club — carried out a number of projects, field trips, and ac- tivities throughout the year. The Science Club members, together with the French Club, conducted a paper drive. Proceeds went to the Charles W. Pearson Memorial Scholarship Fund. Members also sold periodic tables of the elements to chemistry and physics stu- dents. Climaxing the year, they attended the WBTV High School Convocation in Ovens Auditorium, February 21 to hear Dr. Rene Dubos, Pulitzer Prize winner and renowned ecologist. The Political Science Club was organiz- ed to give an outlet to students interested in governmental systems of America. Field trips were planned, and guest speakers were invited to the meetings.

Made up of presidents of clubs and representa- tives from organizations, the Interclub Council was responsible for homecoming activities. Choosing the theme “Love Is . . .,” members sponsored a poster painting party at which rep- resentatives painted the names of their club or organization on signs to be carried onto the football field at halftime. Designating February 10-14 as Club Week, the council attempted to acquaint the students with the purposes of the clubs open to them. During the week, announcements giving the purpose of the clubs and requirements for membership were placed in the daily bulletin. Three or four clubs were spotlighted each day. Posters used during homecoming festivities were displayed on the walls of the cafeteria highlighting the week. LEFT: Interclub sponsor Mrs. Mary Harris, prepares hot chocolate for re- freshments.

They helped paint posters, design programs and create decorations for various activities. Activities included field trips, lectures, films and demonstrations. Serving as club adviser, Mrs. Peggy Weston accompanied eleven students to Queens College to hear international sculptor Arnaldo Palmadoro, who designed the “Grande Disc,” which is on display at the NCNB Plaza. Following the film which illustrated the techniques used in this type of art, the students viewed the disc as it whirled in the wind. A spring sidewalk art show was held with all enrolled in art contributing either to the display or to the items for sale. Students either displayed or sold paint- ings, drawings, sculpture, mosaics and pottery. Craft items included macrame, hooked rugs, tie dies and leather work.

Red Cross organizes to benefit community SiR GRO RR ree AIO eit GOO Organized to do humanitarian projects and to perform services beneficial to the school and the community, the Red Cross Youth Club carried out a successful fund- raising drive as well as an auspicious blood “give in” January 16. The members also learned of projects by the national group. They sponsored the first blood drive for a high school in this area. The mem- bers termed this project a success as ninety-three pints of blood were donated. Homeroom students were gen- erous in making donations to the annual drive for funds. Mrs. Betty Hunsucker’s homeroom won_ for contributing more than the other homerooms and was treated to a party by the group.

Mem- bers did this by decorating the display case at the entrance doors. Each month they put up books, record jackets, and decorations illustrating either an important date such as Thanksgiving and Christmas or the season. Open to students who had served as li- brary assistants, members undertook service projects for the school and community. In the spring of ‘74, they sponsored a week- long Book Fair, arranging a selection of | books on numerous subjects which students | could purchase. They also sold tags for cars with West Mecklenburg Indians stamped in maroon letters on a white back- ground. The group also planned a social outing at the Open Kitchen February 26 to culmi- nate their activities. 2 | Wedd Se ee od PE.

Honor Society members share their time, talents Living their creed of service and leadership, the twenty-four members of the National Honor Society shared their time and talents to serve others. Com- posed of academically-inclined students, the society undertook two service projects for the year. At Christmas, members put boxes in each home- room and encouraged students to bring canned goods and boxes of staple grocieries. These were collected and presented to the school’s custodial staff in ap- preciation for their services. On December 7, the society had a garage sale with the proceeds going to the Charles W. Pearson Scholarship Fund. For several weeks prior to the sale, the members had collected items from their homes and from the faculty to sell. Since this was a success- ful project, they planned another garage sale in the spring. To become a member of the society, students must exhibit qualities of leadership, character, scholar- ship, and service combined with a 3.7 average or above. They also must be voted on by the faculty. In addition to service projects, the members planned a so cial event at Lineberger’s Fish Camp.

Nowhere was this more evident than in the area of English. Even though students still needed three units in English for graduation, they were required to take only sophomore English and one semester of American literature. British literature was dropped system-wide as a required course and was recommended for college-bound students only. Other changes included the mini courses in biology and an the new realit individualized home economics course in which students learned needlepoint and designing as well as other crafts. New realities in music opened up for third-year choristers and orchestra and band members when those who were able could enroll in elekyia theory. Other new courses included an advanced computer lab course and Auto Mechanics I. Curriculum planning was discon- tinued until the federal court ruled which re-assignment plan was acceptable.

After a year on the job, Mr. Leger, the second principal to super- vise the student body and staff since the opening of West twenty-four years ago, proved himself a man of the times. Faced with education’s changing role, he had the patience to listen, strength to restrain, and courage to face his challenge. Serving along with Mr. Leger, were two assistants: Mr. William Leak and Mr. Joe McGinn. Dealing with bus routes and students who decided to cut class, they found their schedules busy. The dedicated secretaries kept the school in order. Mrs. Kay Boone and Mrs. Faye Blankenship stayed busy answering the telephone and aiding students and teachers. Mrs. Joan McKeon assisted in the guidance office. Mrs. Faye Keistler, bookkeeper, kept financial records in order until she suffered a mild stroke. New to the school staff was Patrolman Phil Paschal, who served as a resource Officer.

The media specialists, formerly known as librarians, suffered a cutback in staff. Where there were three librarians previously, this year there were two. With the decrease in total student enrollment less funds were available resulting in a decrease of new book purchases. Counselors increased their staff with the addition of a VIEW counselor. They planned a Post Secondary Opportunity Day to familiarize students with various colleges, their requirements, and financial aid avail- able. Mrs. Mary Harris kept very busy planning special programs, workshops, and projects for the teachers, as well as students. Mini-concerts presented by the fine arts department were arranged. Several work- shops were available for West teachers and teachers from other schools. In March the accomplishments and endeavors of West students and faculty were presented during “Sights and Sounds of West.” 129 Mrs. Ethel Aaron Home Economics CEO, CHEO Mr. George Allen Occupational Preparation Senior Class Adviser Mrs. Eddieola Alexander Bachelor Living, Housing and Furnishings, Family Releationships FHA Workdays prove useful; teachers develop ideas, visit other departments With loaded schedules and lack of time, teachers gladly welcomed the workdays during the year. With students having these days off, teachers were able to accomplish some plans. Grading papers, making out tests, and preparing daily plans took up part of their day. The rest was set aside for departmental meetings. To help faculty members understand the total school program, a faculty focus was arranged. The faculty visited each department and talked with teachers about the courses offered. This also provided teachers a time for fellowship and informal conversation. While visiting the P.E.

Bogged down by piles of grade hungry papers, teachers escape their problems by doing the things they like best. Some teachers’ hobbies are related to their pro- fessions. Mr. Sam Moore taught auto mechanics so it was not unusual that he enjoyed auto racing. Miss Vickie Schliestett taught gym, and she enjoyed swim- ming and gymnastics. She even planned and organized a swim club for the school. Golf seemed to be a popular pastime for some of the faculty. Mr. Carl Bolick, Mr. John Day, Mr. Eddie McArver, Mr. Brooks Piercy, and Mrs. Virginia Well- mon spend their spare time on the golf course. Mrs. Barbara Rohrman’s interest in skiing led to the organization of a ski club. She continued to supervise this club, sharing this interest with the students. Other faculty members who did not participate in sports, watched games on TV or attended local con- tests.

Some of these were known by teachers only; others, only by students, but the majority of these expressions were known by all. Students in Mrs. Zelda Cline’s classes became ac- customed to the questioning line “you follow me?” Mr. Dewey Russell’s whispering “so sad” accompanied by pats on his chest gave seniors a touching memory of British Lit. Every day lectures in Mr. U.S. Norwood’s class constantly conveyed the “mell of a hess” this world is in. Listening for the familiar “Have | told you this story,” students became well acquainted with history. Everyday associations led to humorous nicknames. Students were called sparrows, jaybirds, toads. The candy sale gave the name of “Little Godfather” to Mr. Vance Schrum and “The Candy Man” to Mr. Fred Kessler.

As part of their Shakespeare course at Davidson, Mrs. Leoda Atnip and Mrs. Loree Johnson spent a week in Stratford, Connecticut, and New York. They attended three plays at the American Shakespearean Theatre and Joseph Papp’s Central Park production of “Pericles.” Three members of the Fine Arts Department partici- pated in workshops. Mr. Donnell Cooper attended a marching band clinic in Lexington; and Mrs. Margaret Spainhour, the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Michigan.

For teachers, relaxation comes in various forms With some careful observation, students can catch teachers in situations when they are able to relax. Coming in many forms, relaxation for some faculty members meant a chance to sit down and smoke a cigarette; for others, it meant something else. For the coaches, the pressures of the classroom were forgotten when they got out on the field. They were working in an area which they enjoyed and which released them from the tension of the day. Several women did needlepoint, decoupage, or other crafts. To some teachers, a planning period was an answer to their pro blems. With one free period, they were able to tackle their tasks and relieve some of the mounting pressures. Planning lessons and completing work helped teachers look forward to R and R (rest and relaxation) each evening at home. With track members, spectators and | opponents, Mr. Ronald Patterson care- fully watches the field. 1 et ABOVE: Puzzled by a startling ques- tion, Mrs. Becky Clemmer debates on what her answer will be.

Two new teachers added to some aspect of a career course, and one replaced a ROTC instructor. Mrs. Julia Gaddy became instructor of a new course designed for sophomores. Placing special emphasis on the school-work relationship, students in this pro- gram were taught English, math, and occupational preparation. The class covered a three-period block. During the afternoons, students gained work experi- ence ata job. Due to the recognition of the necessity to improve the effectiveness of the occupational educational de- partments in the local schools, a career specialist was placed in each senior high school. Mr. Marion Hayes served as a representative of VIEW (Vital Information for Education and Work). As a career guidance spe- cialist, Mr. Hayes sought to promote career develop- ment in individuals.

British Literature was changed from a required course to an elective designed only for college-bound students. Other new course additions included general composition, vocational English, Reading II, and the art of satire. Using reams of paper, students enrolled in advanced composition practiced their writing techniques and re- search skills on term papers designed to help prepare them for college. Major works studies in the art of satire included “Animal Farm” by Orwell, Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales,” and Shaw’s “Pygmalion.” Students wrote their own satires and parodies; some entitled theirs ‘West Farm.” Classes were not all work. Seniors saw Polanski’s “Macbeth” at the Tryon Mall Theatre, January 17. Others journeyed to Davidson College to see two drama productions: “The Servant of Two Masters” and “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.” Stu- dents in Mrs. Cindy Smith’s modern poetry classes had a guest-speaker, Mr. David Childers.

Sophomores put four “p’s’ into effect in drivers’ ed Panic, practice, parallel parking, and more practice were the four “p’s” put into effect by the sophomores enrolled in drivers education. Being able to take this course was one of the things which had many rising sophomores looking forward .to the opening of school. The classroom work consisted of studying and being tested on the rules and regulations set forth by the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles. Num- erous films on safe driving were also shown to students in these classes. In-class movies, often bloody and sometimes sicken- ing, brought the department notoriety. These films often showed the fatal consequences of careless and reckless driving. Following the classroom work, students took be- hind-the-wheel training. Often approaching this part of the course with a butterflies-in-their stomach feel- ing, the novice drivers often gave the teacher, as well as the other sophomores in the car, a scare.

Students gained a greater appreciation of art in general as well as learned basic fundamentals in individual interest areas. Music, films and library materials added new aspects. Acting was just a small part of the drama students’ work. Those enrolled studied technical aspects includ- ing lighting, scenic design, costuming and applying make up.

Combining with the band and or- chestra, the choristers presented a “Hootenanny” pro- gram Thursday, November 21 for selected third-period classes. In addition to accompanying the choral pre- sentations, band and orchestra members were featured in several selections. Students in the choir Participated in the All-City High School Choral Clinic during Octo- ber at Pritchard Memorial Baptist Church. Combined with both choruses, the band and the orchestra gave the annual Christmas concert entitled “Christmas Past and Present,” December 12. Tradi- tional carols as well as popular Christmas lyrics and semi-classical selections were presented. A new course, music theory, was added to the fine arts curriculum. This course taught the importance of music fundamentals. The purpose of the course was to help students develop a firm understanding of music. rc AO Ss Pe @ + With deep concentration, senior Teresa _ Bradshaw plays her violin during fifth eriod orchestra. 151 Foreign languages made easier, interesting, fun through films, projects Enrolling in a foreign language class, students had opportunities to learn another language and to ex- plore the customs, traditions, and history of another country. Students in Mrs. Zelda Cline’s French classes had a busy year. In addition to studying basic language skills and translating literary works, they made a film “La Viste de Pere Noel” or “The Night Before Christmas.”” They also took two field trips to see two movies — “The Mad Mad World of Rabbi Jacob” | and “The Little Prince.”’ Spanish students too studied the traditions, lan- guage, and history of Spanish-speaking countries. With February 24-28 designated as Foreign Lan- | guage Week, French students painted posters and set up a sidewalk cafe featuring cheeses, fruits, and pastries. Combining with the language departments from Harding High and the feeder junior high schools: Coulwood, Northwest, Spaugh, and Wilson, the 152 foreign classes attended a banquet Thursday, Feb- ruary 27.

Learning about managing money, bal- ancing checkbooks, selecting nutritious foods, and economizing on household items were covered ex- tensively. The students learned how to care for a home while maintaining good relations with people in and out of the home. Those enrolled in these classes still served and cook- ed; but because of the economic situation, they had to be discriminative about the fabrics and foods they purchased. Teachers instructed their classes on how to ‘cut corners and how to save money on food, elec- tricity, and clothes. Selective shopping was stressed as students learned how to shop for the best buys at the lowest prices. Eating the concoctions they had pre- pared and wearing the clothing they had made were two additional benefits to the course.

How- ever, this was discontinued because the textbook was written in basic language while the computer language was WATT- 5. Also, since it took much time to trans- late book language to computer lan- guage, the students were not getting into algebra. Teachers decided to discontinue the course. Students in advanced classes continued to struggle over tangents, squares, and cosine functions, while those enrolled in geometry worked with postulates, theo- rems, and angles. Studying insurance, banking, and income tax proved practical for general math students. While math subjects fascinated some, others remained puzzled and were happy to have the requirement out of the way.

Because of Title IX which ruled that sports programs for women must be support- ed on a par with programs for their male counterparts, more emphasis was placed on girls’ P.E. Gymnasts were pleased with improvements made in their athletic field. Uneven parallel bars, a balance beam, and a horse made this area more complete. Girls taking P.E. were required to perform individual routines which they created on some sort of gym equipment. In their spring semester, the girls physical education classes studied a unit on dance. To culminate their unit, they choreographed dances, selected their music, and presented a program in the auditorium. Those not per- forming on stage worked behind the curtains in light- ing and costuming. An addition to the department was a new weight room which was equipped with all sorts of weights. ee eee ABOVE RIGHT: Kevin Tackett applies his strength to lifting weights during a gym class.

Cadets study ceremonies, military drills, history Cadets enrolled in the ROTC program familiarized themselves with ceremonies and drills used by the mil- itary. During their first-year course in aerospace edu- cation, students studied the history of the United States Air Force. Students taking the course for the second year de- veloped individual and group skills necessary for par- ticipation in ceremonies, while third-year students analyzed factors and leadership situations. Throughout the year emphasis was placed on building self-confi- dence and leadership. Classwork and activities were planned to help cadets reach this goal. For those enrolled in the subject, it was not all marching and drilling. Cadets participated in the Car- rousel Parade. In full dress uniforms, they displayed military techniques under the leadership of Cadet Tim Helms. Field days with cadets competing with ROTC units from the other area high schools were conducted each spring. As a grand finale the parade and award cere- mony was held at the end of the school year with out- standing cadets honored.

These included botany, ecology, embryology, genetics, human anatomy, and zoology. Even though the sophomores had enrolled in Biology I, they could choose from these areas of in- terest and study them for nine weeks. Those juniors and seniors who wanted to expand their interest in the biological sciences could sign up for Biology II. Those doing so indicated their under- standing of living things. They learned to incorporate laboratory techniques in their study of life science concepts. Dissecting labs were filled with scalpel-happy students examining their specimens amid groans and gasps. While biological science students were dissecting and studying ecological relationships, those taking chemistry and physics balanced equati ons, prepared molar solutions, learned of disintegration, and ex- plored laws of electricity and force. Chemistry students heard a resource person speak on florescense. Students attended the WBTV High School Convo- cation, February 21 to hear Dr. Rene Dubos, world renowned scientist and ecologist.

Students study present, past in social sciences Enrolled in the social studies classes, students learn- ed of man’s past and present history. American his- tory classes studied background ideas. In them, they set Out to understand more of the causes and rela- tionships of events with not so much emphasis on dates, persons, and places. Seniors in law and justice studied the United States Constitution. They took field trips to the local office of the FBI, the Law Enforcement Center, a federal court session, and the county jail. Innovations and new courses were most evident in the Social Science Department. No longer were stu- dents required to take the one-year courses in U.S. History and world history although these were still available to those choosing to enroll in them. New semester subjects included a course in Asian history and one on Europe in the Middle Ages. Some students capable of doing independent study delved into current problems or historical events. Those involved expressed satisfaction with their efforts. Courses in general psychology, abnormal psychol- ogy, sociology, and Bible proved to be popular for those who were interested in the social sciences. Some of these subjects offered different approaches to studying. Contemporary ideas were combined with history. Psychology students heard a resource speaker on ESP. They also learned to observe human behavior. 161 162 Lectures, demonstrations, field trips spark interest iN Occupational courses Students interested in various aspects of the busi- ness world were offered a wide choice of occupa- tional and business courses. Courses ranged from auto mechanics to typing and shorthand. Besides becoming well acquainted with the course, students were taken on several field trips where they could see the real thing. On January 8, Mr. Rick Bilbro took the electronics class to visit WBTV. Field trips made by fashion merchandising included visits to Strat- ford House, The Collins Company and the Troyann Ross Institute of Modeling. Students in fashion mer- chandising gave a fashion show at TRIM, giving them a taste of actual modeling. Horticulture classes took time out to visit the Southern Living Show. Guest speakers also provided students with better insights into the occupations. With interesting lectures and experimental demonstrations, students were able to visualize the advantages and disadvantages of dif- ferent aspects of their careers.

Designed to help sophomores adapt to high school, the eighteen week orientation course covered a num- ber of topics. These included units on sex education, alcohol, death, drugs and family life. The objective of the course was to help students learn more about themselves and others. In an effort to better under- stand people with handicaps, students pretended to be handicapped themselves. During the unit on law, students studied their legal rights and responsibilities. Guest speakers included Mr. Allen Bailey, a local attorney at law, and Patrolman Phil Paschal, school resource officer. They discussed youth’s responsibilities under the law. Speakers from the Mecklenburg County Health Department presented informal talks on birth control. Rev. Bob Lassister, assistant pastor of St. John’s Baptist Church, visited classes when the unit on death was covered. He talked to students about the religious aspects of death. For the second year, sophomores in the program were able to sign up for mini-courses in interest areas. Consisting of three weeks, the mini-courses were set up to let students observe and take part in two classes which they could elect to take in their junior and sen- ior years. In addition to participating in each five-day course, they learned to develop study habits for one week. ABOVE: Charlie Wilkerson consults with Mrs. Harris on mini-courses dur- ing orientation.

Though sophomores made up the majority of new arrivals, the Junior Class was also filled with unfamiliar faces. Classes got off to a slow start, with elections for class officers being postponed until October and November. Plans for the Junior-Senior prom did not get under way until Monday before Thanksgiving holidays. AG} a ee ee eee” a ty the new realit With Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations came a flurry of activities. Sophomores held their class elections; seniors wrote colleges for freshman applications, while juniors ordered their long-awaited high school rings. Every year we are seeing different faces, but somehow we never change. Sure, our individuality was here, but the union, and togetherness was here, also. Faces come and soon leave, but never will the spirit leave. 9 167 sand August 26 began a new year of learning. Sopho- mores, seemingly lost in an ocean of students, wel- comed familiar faces of stu- dents from junior-high days. These friends helped make them secure on the first day of senior high. Juniors trans- ferred to West from other schools joined with those re- turning to make their class the most spirited. Seniors an- ticipated “their year.” As students we began to reach out and to expand our con- sciousness. Although we found differences, we soon discovered similarities. Some students we never knew; others we will forget. Even with all this, the most re- markable was change: the new reality. j 1 : : ! . § we 3 sophomores 169 Ricky Abee Roy Abernathy Bernard Adamson Scott Agnew David Anderson Howard Anderson Gay Ardrey - Terri Ayers Kemp Bailey Betty Ballard Vickie Barrett Sara Barwick Donna Beal Karen Beasley Bernard Beatty Ray Bennett Carol Benton Danny Berrier MF 170 Apathy strikes; Wanda Berry Stephanie Best Elaine Black Nancy Blackburn Pete Blanton Kenny Bolton Kim Bostick Mary Bouler Sandra Boyd Don Bradshaw Joyce Bradshaw Keith Brady Butch Branch Greg Braxton Kim Bridges Beverly Briggs Donna Broome George Broome Sophomore elections had not been conducted at the time the 1975 ‘Toma- hawk’ went to the printer. Announce- ments had been made requesting that interested sophomores submit their names and statements as to why they wanted to run for class officers, but only four students responded. This left the Sophomore Class without representation on the Executive Council. Even though the overall interest in run- ning for class officers was lacking, some sophomores did become involved in school life. They participated in Jayvee sports which helped them find their own “little niche.” Others joined clubs and organizations; but as a whole, they lacked leadership to get involved. In the spirit chain contest held during homecoming week, the sophomores came in last, pur- chasing less than a thousand spirit strips. New friendships developed while old friendships flourished as the class mem- bers experienced the special feelings that only high school life can bring. They felt proud because theyknew what to scream at pep rallies when the cheerleaders yell- ed, “Sophomores, shout your battle cry!” Sophomores check their schedule as they attempt to locate the room for @ —— A their next class.

While they had another year to consider choices for college, they did not have one for the prom, the only social event of the year. Carrying out the most successful candy sale’ in the history of the school, the middleclassmen made more than enough for ex- penses and entertained the seniors royally at the prom May 24 at Ranson Junior High School. Elections were held in November, and the middle- classmen chose as their leaders, Belinda Brawley, Susan Castles, Jackie Foxx, John McCall, and Kim Spadaccini.

Many experienced their first time on the varsity team. The 1974 baseball team gave evidence of the juniors’ contributions as six were on the team which won the division title and reached the state playoffs in Durham. Four juniors on the track team contributed to a third- place finish in the state meet. Baseball and track were not the only sports in which juniors played key roles. Cross country, led by fleet- footed junior Randy Prunty, who made all county, captured many honors. The most significant was the defeat of Myers Park, a first in eighteen years for the cross country team. Donnie Lanier and Robert Stitt helped the varsity basketball team produce its best record in a number of years. Minor sports teams also depended on juniors for some of their points. These experienced juniors had the coaches looking forward to the 1975-76 seasons. This was especially true of Carl Bolick, who had six returning starters on the 1975 baseball team.

For the Class of 1975, the year was filled with changes, both academic and co-curricular. Because of the school board ruling which delayed all elections, the Senior Class did not elect officers until October 23. Chosen to repre- sent their class were Cynthia McMurray and Tom Query, co-presidents; Leslie Linker, vice-president; and Teresa Burns, secretary-treasurer. Setting the pace for the entire school, the seniors won the Spirit Chain Contest and shared their Christmas spirit by placing a tree in the cafeteria. A feeling of nostalgia prevailed at the Junior-Senior as seniors realized they were attending the last social event of their high school life.

They helped Mrs. Mary Harris, Interclub Council ad- viser, a ehe junior members plan and carry out the halftime show during the homecoming game. Other areas where they assisted includ- ed taking up attendance cards from the teachers during first period and helping prepare the absentee list. Others de- livered the list during second-period class. Several seniors assisted the secretaries in the main office, putting up mail; filing sign-in and sign-out cards and reports; running errands; being a_ jack-of-all trades; and helping wherever they were needed. One girl stated that she never realized how busy the main office was until she became an assistant. Others also helped in the guidance office. Seniors as well as juniors, worked in the library. Here, they checked out and shelved books, collected fines, checked students in at the entrances and out at the exits. Several were trained to run the audio-visual equipment. During lunch the upper classmen, aided by some juniors, served as hall monitors. Helping keep traffic in halls to aminimum where classes were being conducted, they inspected passes of students entering these areas. Others made !.D.’s of incoming sopho- mores and of any student without a card.

These excursions were an inte- gral part of the learning process as teach- ers arranged trips to local businesses. Students looked forward to these trips to break the daily routine and to give them an opportunity to eat lunch at Shoney’s or some other restaurant. Several classes attended movies. These included the British literature classes as seniors traveled to the Tryon Mall Theatre to see Roman Polanski’s production of Macbeth, January 17. Culminating a study in modern world history, Miss Geovinna Yelton’s students saw “The Odessa File’ at Charlottetown Cinema. A trip to Collins Company and TRIM (Troyann Ross Institute of Modeling) under the supervision of Mrs. Linda Beatty and Mrs. Becky Clemmer was of decided interest to senior girls enrolled in fashion merchandising. 206 Supervised by Mrs. Lynn Baxter, stu- dents toured the Federal Reserve Bank; and housing students, Stratford House Furniture.

Here, they work- ed with students two hours daily in learning labs and assist- ed those who needed indivi- dual tutoring in math and read- ing. Others in the program i ae in the library. As a part of the seniors’ activities, the kept the bulletin boards changed and aided the teach- ers in any way needed. At Hal- loween the seniors planned a party for the students at Tuck- aseegee. They decorated the rooms, dressed up in costumes, and entertained the youngsters by telling ghost stories and playing games. On February 13, Jerry Gilsen brought a group of sixth graders to tour the cam- pus and to see high school students at work.

When the final bell rings, those who drive, as well as those who ride the buses, make a mad dash for the parking lot. Woe be unto any unsuspecting visitors or teach- ers who get in the way, They are likely to be caught up in the onslaught and carried away. As soon as drivers and riders reach the cars or buses, the race is on to see who will leave the lot first. Cars and buses line up, one behind the other so the drivers can get out on Tuckaseegee Road to “hurry on down to Hardee’s” or other destinations. All the lot needs to look like the speedway is a man with a checkered flag and an announcer to signal “Gentlemen, start your engines.” To have the privilege of parking in “Frustration Circle,” students must purchase a permit proudly displaying an Indian driving a jalopy. Without these posted on the front bumper, students cannot park their cars in the lot. It is not uncommon to hear an- nouncements during the day, “The owner of a light blue ’73 Mustang should report to the office.” TOP RIGHT: Hurrying to be first ones out of the parking lot, students rush to cars and buses.

They reported to the cafeteria to decorate the traditional senior Christmas tree. After placing their ornaments on the tree, the seniors decorated trees for the underclassmen. , Apathy struck again as another tradition ended. Omitted from. the seasonal activity was the traditional door decorating contest sponsored by the Student Coun- cil. Consequently, many doors remained bare. A few students with the Christmas spirit helped decorate bulle- tin boards in the main hall and in the guidance office. Some clubs refused to give in to the “doldrums” and sponsored drives for canned goods to be delivered to a needy family and visited area rest homes to sing carols. RIGHT: The senior and sophomore Christmas trees show evidence of the “yard-rolling” craze.

This, according to tradition, helped them to realize their last year in high school was well under way. After picking up their portraits in the health room, seniors stopped each other in the halls and asked to see the pictures. In the cafeteria and in study halls, seniors were busy making exchanges. During the changing of classes the comments between seniors in the halls consisted of “Hey, you got your pictures; save one for me!” and “Don’t ask to see my pic- tures; they’re AW-FUL!”’ Other seniors who did not report for a sitting during August and who had done so after school started had to wait until December for their pic- tures. However, all the orders had been deliver- ed before the Christmas holidays in time for se- niors to give the portraits as presents to parents, grandparents, or members of the opposite sex. 220 Willie Robinson Rosalind Roddey Timothy Rogers Beth Rose ABOVE: After purchasing his portraits, Gregory Sadler Belle Anita Sanders Robbie Gathings looks to see if the f ; camera flattered him.

Senior varsity members honored during pep rally Senior members of the football team were recognized at the pep rally held on October 31 for the homecoming game. Each player was asked to give his definition of “Love Is. . .”’ to help carry out the theme of half-time activities for the game. Girls on the School Spirit Com- mittee read these definitions out at the pep rally. Terry Wentzel “broke up” the crowd with his definition: “Love Is... Mrs. Atnip being sick and being absent from school for a week.” The senior varsity members selected girls as their sponsors to be escorted onto the field and recognized at the halftime activities. The girls wore the players’ game jerseys to school on Thursday since school was not in session the day of the game. Parents of the senior players, as well as wives of the coaches, were issued special invitations to the game. In addition to these honors, the players had a special table set aside in the cafeteria for their lunch. Varsity and Jayvee cheerleaders sold pom poms for students to use in the cheering section the night of the game.

During the last month of summer vacation, the business staff began selling advertisements for the financing of the TOMAHAWK. Twenty members scouted areas of Charlotte, seeking financial support from local companies and patrons. Once school opened, September 11 and 19 were designated as selling days.

Change — without it, man does not grow. He does not progress; he does not survive. Attempting to portray every phase of school life realistically, the 1975 Tomahawk staff chose “Change: The New Reality” as its theme. With time’s _ passing, change is inevitable; together we changed. Reflecting upon the past year, we realized that changes, good and bad, confronted us. For some it was a year of apathy and un- concern; for others, a time of challenge and involvement. Ex- changing ideas and ideals helped us to accept change. A story of one year has been told with the new reality of change presented. Looking back over the nine months, we realized we were the ones who brought about changes making the year memorable. Changes became traditions which gave way to changes which con- tinued the cycle. The picture con- stantly varied as bigger changes created new designs. Such were the changes of ’75. And now it is done. We are sad because it is over, And we cannot change the past, Nor can we turn back. But a new thrill awaits us Because the future belongs to us With its new realities of dreams and hopes Moved onward by memories of today. 4 Ge, Raow SA ee Cong “SUA KJ Ore f f | Se ee ee eer ae pOTMMAD € “4 9) MOM, Wiad MAC ease rete ‘ x ] Cs - YVR Ca WVU Lcty ¢} ont ) ® Ws heen dur oplted od cu opie aT, de YQ Pune wouldn ‘4 MDCAK TA QP Hrwowol. ih vi @ didm au to to0k to Goo Awercdkh Bok om. he Urey Quek Nn prom Dike Ce rood awl OU Guat ako, The v0 Lyore One hy both ; skye i A lr) Lan (ee ay 0) ios Le - pian thea eee ae SH Ch Wy « Sea ae ie, pi8 nS “ad Kerk Sam X Los 5 Wty (NG nt ei 1 acs ' Me COA af a hr oe on } hats iy VANS pe NRL, rey ee os CX WHinT Len Ze . - CU KX BES Aly IAG 8 A { 2 f } } if NY L- | Sal a8 i LCs eeu Oreck, Avera 01 {Juana E i - | ; j Y iy Aly CLAUS OC eaTdd I COW Ursa, Cme a ays D Raps 2 ; ) Le ‘ o} ; 43) v ‘ cf !
