Crisp, cool autu mn days call for football and the WSHS squad rallied to their call. The squad improved this year by winning two games, one against Parkwood, the other against Sun Valley. West fans gasped when Garland Carr was incapacitated as the result of a broken collar bone. Other boys were hurt; other games were played (some lost), but WSHS students still looked to their football team to boost school spirit. Highlight of our Homecoming Game

Winter Work and Worry . . . January Exams Winter came to West Stanly High School bringing basketball season, more sock hops, Christmas vacation, mid-term exams (ugh), and (lo and be- hold!) class rings! The basketball teams won and lost, but always dis- played good sportsmanship. Everyone (teachers included) was gay after the short, exhilarating Christmas vacation. Three weeks later, mid-term examinations inter- rupted the students ' dreams of being in a Winter Wonderland . Many stu- dents burned the midnight oil cram- ming for the next day ' s exams. As the wear and tear of this experience wore off, seniors began to look toward the arrival of class rings. With February came the class rings and the revival of the annual practice of shaking hands (the better to show the ring). Winter- -another season of our fi- nal year at WSHS went by too fast! Class Rings Sparkle . . . Seniors Glow
