Nothing Comes CLC E! E losest to the Be t-'E The facts were out. To students, faculty, and parents across the county, the case was clear. It was examined, questioned, and challenged until finally it was proven - West is as close to the best as there is. The celebrated awakening came after years of ups and downs but at last it had occured. For the first time in twenty-two years, the Colts had secured the number two position in the conference and the right to advance to the State play-offs. After years of sitting back and watching other teams advance to the play-offs, the Colts had proven the fact once and for all that we were tied with the best in the county. The feeling of victory and of being the best had barely caught on. Word came down from Civitan International that we were chartering the largest Jr. Civitan Club in all of NC District West. Suddenly we were the obstacle to overcome, especially by schools in Stanly County. But it didn't stop there. Computers had revolutionized the school. Attendance Q records were updated and circulated and for the first time the administration was made fully aware of attendance problems without delay. The computer era also affected registration. Headaches were lessened, classes went undisturbed, and registration took one tenth of the time it had taken in past years. The computers virtually reassessed teacher's methods and changed the meaning of the infinitive to teach . The business department teachers found that it was quite a bit easier to teach the typewriter keyboard by computer than by teaching it off the blackboard. For the second year in a row, the Auto-Mechanics Department has employed computers to diagnose problems in the motor, wheel balance, and speedometer. Computers were also held in great demand by the Yearbooks staff members. For the first year ever the staff used a program called Scripsit. Fortunately the program made it feasible for members to justify copy length, excluding the HOME OF THE COLTS. Just like an old friend this welcoming sight greets students 180 mornings out of the year. Housing 730 students, the Home of the Colts is in its 22nd year. THE PUNKS ARE PEPPED. Dressing up as punk rockers on spirit day provides a spirit boost to help the Colts achieve a victory over the Comets. The winners of the punk rockers costume contest were Amy Sue Eudy and Frankie Clay. 2fOpening CHIT-CHAT. To pass the time in the cafeteria line, students discuss the latest news and events. In previous months, the cafeteria has undergone many changes - a rainbow has been painted on the walls, new ceiling fans have been mounted, and a snack and salad bar have been established. WINNING SPIRIT. At the end of the September second pep rallyjunior and senior players gather in the middle of the gymnasium to show their spirit and to boost team morale. The Colts were victorious over the Denton Raiders by a score of 26-6. G0 PUNKERS. For Colts beat Comets Day, supporters don punk rock fashions to boost team spirit. Students came dressed in garbage bags, mini-skirts, cut sweat-shirts and added an outlandish touch to their make-up and hair color. Emerging victorious over the North Stanly Comets gave the Colts a 5-2 record. Open1ng!'3 E-Closest to the Be 'uf possibility of trapped white space and extra lines. Our superiority was once again established by the prize-winning 1983 Pegasus Tying Our Year Together . A year of long hours, hard work, and dedication had finally paid off after receiving various honors. Award after award was given to the '83 Pegasus. Tying Our Year Together won five awards from the North Carolina Scholastic Press Association and the UNC School of Journalism. These awards were for second place Best Overall, second place Best Design, second place Best Copy, first place Best Photography, and a rating of All-North Carolina. The '83 Pegasus received a rating of Superior from the Southern Inters- cholastic Press Association and was presented a second place certificate from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. These facts were proven and the evidence was handed down. The case had become perfectly clear to everyone that we were as close to the best as there could possibly be.

Around 7:45am the snow began falling. Caught by surprise many students went home duringfirstandsecondperiods.Thesecondsurprise of the day came when the County School Board waited until fourth period to release the buses because of had road conditions. Openmgf5 Any Way You Look at Student Life othing Comes Close Years of top-rated concerts, plays, and clubs, summers of picnics, swimming, cruising the beach, and vacationing, days of studying, skipping class, and going to the store for a midday snackg nights of burning the midnight oil with friends, double-dating at the movies, g0SS1p1I'1g on the activity bus, and cheering for the best team at football and bas- ketball games served as proof that our Student Life was none but the best. Seniors spent the year making the most of the best while fresh- men were experiment- ing with the new- ly discovered con- cept of fun. Like never before in our history, students were represented in many different ways. The formation of the new club Junior Civitan brought recognition from surrounding areas. Being the biggest chartered club of District-West proved to those who had never heard of our school that anything we do - we do better than the rest. The West Stanly Players were also considered to have the best PRE-GAME JITTERS. Carefully con- sidering his strategy against his Bulldog opponent, freshman Ashley Huneycutt heads for the courts. Huneycutt lost by a close margin to Eric Simpson and the team lost to Albemarle by a score of O-9. 6fStudent Life Divider drama department in the state and once more they produced several shows - each to sell-out crowds. As in years past, the girls of West Stanly were chosen as the most beautiful by the judges of the Fourth of July Fire Queen Pageant. The Queen and her attendants were all West Stanly Seniors. The football team proved to be better than the rest with another winning season. Dances, sock hops, and spirit-days con- tinued to excel. During the year students enjoyed dressing up as punk rockers, hal- loween goblins, bums, and other extravagant crea- tures to demonstrate the best of school Spirit. The students and people of the community com- bined efforts to raise money for the construction of new tennis courts. 1983-84 was a new,' kind of year in many significant ways. Student activities drew support and attention from the people of the community proving that anywhere you look - nothing comes close. THE STARS SHINE.

Like every graduation phase of life - a new beginning class, they suffered from the same fears and apprehensions that come with not knowing what lies ahead in the future.

The excitement has built and that famous Christmas spirit has spread. After a year of waiting for the shopping, the gifts, the parties, and the food the festivities are, at last, begun again. Christmas festivities covered a large variety of activities for everyone. Each person carried his own ideas of what the perfect Christmas holiday would be. For many of the girls this holiday was made special when they were chosen as a club representative and received the honor of riding in the local parades. For others, the hours of leisure time was the highlight, but for most the thought of all those presents was the major issue. Along with Christmas came contests and drawings. During the final days before Christmas vacation, clubs such as FHA held drawings for cakes and other Christmas items. Not all the contests were for tangible prizes, as Mr. Mark Cook found out.

For some, Christmas was a time to visit family and friends, for others it's a time of bustling activity, and for still others it's a two week vacation from school.

These clubs included, DECA, FTA, PAC, FFA, FHA, VICA, FBLA, Jr. Civitan, Camera Club, West Stanly Players, Human Relations and the Pegasus Staff. Karla Smith, the 1983 West Stanly Homecoming Queen, participated in all three parades. Miss Merry Christmas, Kerry Eudy, rode in the Oakboro parade. People from far and near could be found watching the festivities and wondering what was next in the parade line up. As Santa Claus brought up the rear and darkness crept over the city, children bundled in warm coats and toboggans left with rosy cheeks and wide smiles. Adults departed filled with the spirit of Christmas and once again the streets were quietly awaiting the hustle and bustle of Christmas Eve. Paradesf33 WHERE'S THE PEOPLE? McDonald's is usually a busy hangout on Friday and Saturday nights. However, this weekend was a little slow, with only a few people to be found. Night n The Town When it comes to weekends no one wants to stay home and watch Fantasy Island. Weekends are a time to make your own fantasy come true, whether it is with a steady or with a bunch of friends. But where do people go to have fun and get together? Around Stanly County it's true that there isn't a large choice but when it comes to hanging around it doesn't matter where you do it as long as you do it with the gang. The favorite place among most teen- agers is Sky City. It's the place to show off a new car, to meet new friends and to get together with the old ones. With several restaurants nearby, Sky City parking lot makes a good location. After cruising through the parking lot or taking in a movie, the in-spot to be is Pizza Hut.

Hanging out doesn't always mean going to Albemarle on weekends. Students love to congregate in the hallways to chat, study, or laugh. Most groups have their own spot MUNCHIN' OUT.

As you can see most everyone has different views on hangouts. Stanly County may be small but it offers plenty to keep it's teenagers busy. Q ' - --+ 4. A TRUCKlN'. Senior Kenneth Morgan gives freshman Carmel Allen a ride home in his new truck on a rainy day at school. GOOD BYE WEST. A long line of traffic waiting to leave school is an everyday sight at West. O Y Daily Drive Driving to school has always been something to look forward to when you reach the golden age of 16. And when it finally came, you dreamed of having the greatest car around and cherished the thought of not having to ride the bus anymore. Then the parking lot began filling up and lines got longer at the end of the day. There was no need to worry though because some drivers began car pooling to save gas and money and the line got gradually shorter. But despite the high cost of driving and the time it takes to make the drive, the students still enjoyed waiting in the lines to go home and showing off their new cars and trucks. MOVING ON.

Wendi Efird displays her business suit to her class as she demonstrates what a secretary might wear. T Colts Only This school year was certainly a great one for some terrific fads to be started. With the influence of movies such as Flashdance and of rock groups like Def Leppard we got many new fads. The off-the-shoulder-torn sweatshirt and the British flag designs were introduced and made a big success for todays fashions. Some of the best self -put together designs included one or more of these: baggie stripped jeans, Peter- Pan boots, Members Only jackets, narrow knit ties, walking shorts and argyle sweaters along with many other articles of clothing and accessories. Although some of the fads here at West Stanly may be passing fashions of today, many may never go out of style. No matter the trend of the times, one thing is for sure, West Stanly students are always in style. FASHION STUDS.

Few students the opportunity to experience a feeling of elated satisfaction the students of the Drama directed by Mr. Jim , are given the chance to the sensation of being on stage. Even though not all of the students participate in the same type of performing, whether they are singers, dancers, actors, actresses, or musicians they had the same type of answers when asked, What is it like to be on stage for the first time? Cherry Wright: When I first walked out on stage, my heart was in my throat. I was so scared that my hands were sweating and my voice was shaky. All I wanted to do was turn and run off stage, but after I'd finished and I heard the people applaud, I felt so good, because I knew I had really accomplished PERFORMING LINE UP. The Fall Drama production, America in Song with a tribute to Judy Garland, featured Beginning and Advanced Drama students.

I said the first couple of words to Yankee Doodle, and my heart jumped into my throat. Tracy Monroe: I walked onto the stage and I was nervous and scared, but I was excited too. Amanda Hughes: No feeling can compare to the thrill of being on stage and having complete mental control of the audience and their emotions.

While working at Belk's, Kim Burleson, a part-time worker helps customers in the Misses Department. reason, a good way to attain this money and a way many students do, is through part-time work. Work can usually be found one way or another. One way is through a class called Distributive Educa- tion. Through D.E., students get a job with the help of the D.E. teacher, Mrs. Cheryl Hollifield, to leave school to go to work, while still gaining school credits. Still others, find jobs for themselves, working after school and on weekends. Though Seniors can take only the needed credit hours and leave, many go to work. Students work at a variety of jobs. Some work in restaurants, some work in department or grocery stores, some baby-sit, and the list goes on. But one thing remains the same, the goal to acquire money and spend or save it any way they want, because they worked for it. MAKING A CHANGE.

Images of the Past With the end of 1983 comes also a look back on a few memories. The American armed forces stayed busy in '83 with an invasion of Grenada and a peace-keeping mission in Beirut where American soldiers lost their lives after a suicidal attack on the Marine headquarters during the night. Tragedy struck in other ways as well when a Soviet fighter plane shot down a Korean airliner. The Soviets' defense for their actions was, the airliner was in Soviet airspace and it was spying on Soviet military bases. Politics found firsts in 1983 as well as age-old problems. The economy had its difficulties and the .-is COMPUTER CRAZE. Junior Wendy Austin is just one more student to join the computer craze. Classes such as Data Processing I help prepare students for the computer age. TOP OF THE CHARTS. Hot artists of 1983 are familiar faces like Michael Jackson, Styx and ZZ Top, and new faces like Loverboy and Def Leppard. Hit singles are plentiful, with more than twenty releases from these five albums. 46fCurrent Events unemployment rate remained high. The presidential candidates an- nounced their intensions, as Rever- end Jesse Jackson, Walter Mondale, and former astronaut, John Glenn became candidates for the 1984 Presidential Election. The nation came through a year of transition. Supporters of Martin Luther King, Jr. marched in Washington, to show their belief in Dr. King's dream of racial peace. After receiving the golden foot award for saying the wrong thing at the worst possible time, James Watt, to the delight of many resigned his government position. The development of the disease known as AIDS, which has killed over 1,225 people in the United States, remained a mystery at the close of 1983. Television also experienced changes. The long-running, award- winning series, MA.S.H. made its voluntary withdrawal from the CBS line-up. ABC brought controversy with its choice to air T he Thornbirdsf' which brought large amounts of criticism and The Day After which dealt with the tragedy and destruction of nuclear war. Music had another prosperous year. Superstar, Michael Jacksor shined brilliantly in '83 with his number one album, Thri1Ier anc his seven hit singles from the Thriller album, Billie Jean,' Beat It, Human Nature-,' 'KThI1'116I,,, Wanna Be Startin Somethinf' The Girl is .M1'ne,' and P.YfT CPretty Young Thingjf' 1983 also brought the introduction of many groups sucl' as Culture Club and De Barge. The big boost came with the advancement of music into Videos creating a multi-million dollar rocl4 video industry. In closing we also said good-bye tc many well-known people in the pasi year. Alabama football coach, Pauf Bear Bryant, singer, Karer Carpenterg former boxer, Jack Dempsey, actors, Arthur Godfrey David Niven and Slim Pickensg and network news figures, Frank Reynolds and Jessica Savitch Though we said good-bye to 1983 its events both tragic and joyous are imprinted in our minds as well as our hearts and remain there forever.

Current Eventsf47 Any Way You Look at People othing Comes Close Working together to become one, more than seven hundred students and faculty began the first day of school. For these people the year of 1984 was a challenge they would have to meet. Each member, as an individual had his own special challenges, but as a whole we were challenged to meet the students in school spirit which ran high during the year. Teachers overcame this obstacle by sup- porting school spirit both in school and at extra curricular activities. For students there was more than ever before to be done. The introduction of challenged in county-wide sports, music, exams pushed popularity, and teachers harder, academics, the op- who in turn pushed portunities were there and it was up students harder. More and more to the people to people showed sup- meet them. No port for the school matter who the and athletics individual, programs causing teachers or students, now students, each had more than ever, to their own im- be fulltime portant role to play representatives of in the year that their school. followed. The challenges that came were Teachers had the ever-present challenge of teaching but their jobs didn't stop there. They also sponsored clubs so that students could do more than just attend six classes and retire home to homework. Teachers were also RAINING BLISS. Braving the dreary weather, Miss Ann Barringer, cheerleader sponsor and faithful fan, pulls for the Colts against the Mount Pleasant Tigers. Despite the fact that her brother is the coach for the Mount Pleasant football squad and that she graduated from there, Miss Barringer faithfully cheers for her favorite team, the Colts. 48fPeople Divider met not by one individual, but by a united team of people. Much like the well organized athletic teams, the diligent student body and devoted faculty came together to achieve everything that was completely necessary. SPIRIT-FILLED. At 2:40 every other Friday afternoon smiles, laughter, and spirit spread like the plague across the school. The music of the band and chants of the cheerleaders gave students a chance to express their pride in the Colts. For each pep rally, the gym was filled to capacity by students and surprisingly by many teachers. N23 Q i.5x:i Q QSQSEX fQiiQsQ SSQQQQE X ,BW f 1 'Rig -. 7:-Q-si A i I f ..,.L X? . .. N E SVh LfX ? Finally! Many Seniors give a sigh of relief on Graduation night knowing that twelve years of school are behind them. Others, however, feel sad because it ends a part of their life which began four short years ago. Once they receive their diploma they are free to go out in the world to begin their future or continue their education at an institution of higher learning. The one thought that will always remain is that of the many memories they shared during their four years in high school. The tense moments during the football games with only a few seconds left on the clock, the arrival of class rings, the long-awaited prom, and the assemblies when watching the SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS.

Behind the Juniors lie two years of work with which they are satisfied, and before them lies the senior year with a feeling of being inadequate and totally unprepared to meet the challenges of the adult world. Like other challenges they aspire to reach their goals. One of the biggest tasks of the junior year is planning the prom.

Decorations that made the lream a reality consisted of wine bottles, an Eiffel Tower, sidewalk cafes complete with checked tableclothes, and a night filled with special music from the band Infinity . The Eiffel Tower was built out of a special type of metal donated by members of the community and was placed at the end of the gym.

For the Seniors it was a night of memories. Memories from their Junior year and their first prom that flooded back, but most of all each moment created a new memory which would live forever. Each person who entered into An Evening In Paris left with their own special feelings and memories. Happy or sad, these feelings and memories were a part of the 1983 J unior-Senior Prom. As for the creators, An Evening In Paris was a long, awaited dream come true. J uniorsf 69 agazine Sales West Stanly's annual magazine sales went off with a boom again this year.

While they are not wondering, they have to worry about doing their homework and studying for test. But what pulls them through on the afternoons filled with homework is the thought of next year when they will become Seniors. Just the thought is enough to make anyone do their homework.

There are a variety of classes that Juniors could take to fill the day if they are not planning to attend college, but are planning to start work after graduating. Some of the classes that last three hours are, Auto Mechanics II, Carpentry III, Cosmetology I and II, Distributive Education CDEJ, Graphics I and II. There are only two required courses a Junior has to take, which are English and History. If they are planning to attend college there are additional courses they should consider taking - science, math, and foreign language.

Julie Barbee remembers, last years prom 'An Evening in Paris' is something I'll never forget. My date was Wade Summers and we had a great time. My most memorable time was a day in my Freshman year when a couple of Seniors tried to convince me I could fit inside a locker, replied Mark Coley. Carol Helms said her most memorable event was one day last year, me, Melanie, Anita, and Leigh Anne were going to leave school early and when we got out to my car I had a flat tire. I had to get two guys from Auto Mechanics to change it for me. Melanie and Leigh hid behind the car the whole time. A time that will always stick with many was expressed by Cyndi Hinson and Eric Roberts. The first day that I was here. I can remember it like it was yesterday. Making new friends and keeping the old ones. These are but a few of the moments that will be remembered by the students here at West. Whether they be memories of the good times or bad, they will always be special just as every moment here at West Stanly is. DRESSED TO KILL.

J uniorsf 7 5 On The Though they aren't there yet, the sophomores are slowly but surely making their way to the top. Last year, entering as freshmen, they were filled with excitement of starting a new year. Coming to a new and larger school brought many changes along with many surprises. Beginning their sophomore year, they were no longer the new ones but they were prepared for all of the many things that West Stanly has to offer its students. With the Way Up excitement wearing off, they are now comfortable and feel like a real part of the school. Some of the highlights of the sophomore year are receiving their class rings, having the choice of more electives and the decision of whether or not to take P.E. With the anticipation of their junior and senior year, the sophomores are slowly on their way up.

The class ring itself, is a circle and has traditionally symbolized your circle of friends, achievements and experiences while attending high school. A class ring can represent high positive characteristics of relationship to the world around you. It can symbolize your self pride, symbolize your dedication to attaining your goals, symbolize your willingness to become involved and to participate, and symbolize your pledge to the future of continued personal development. It also recognizes that individual wishes to express this symbolism in a personal way.

Moving On A big change for the Sophomores is not that they do not get picked on by many of the upperclassmen, but it is how they get to school. Taking Drivers Education is probably one of the most exciting things that happens in a students high school years.

Dave is firm in his presentation but he is also compassionate to students because he realizes how peer pressure affects young people. He knows that this pressure can be very damaging as it was for him. He does not try to force an idea on anyone but instead he tells the truth and leaves it up to the individual to decide what he will do. He presents his story in hopes that students will not complicate their lives the way he did. His desire is that the future will be filled with true happiness not with the illusion of happiness that drugs and alcohol give. MAN WITH A MESSAGE.

Sophomoresf83 Starting Over Becoming a Freshman is a big step-up from elementary school. There are so many challenges to be met. One thing is the changing of classes six times. All the hustle of people rushing through the halls at once also contributes to massive confusion. Comments such as Where is my next class? and Oops! wrong room , are familiar comments heard from confused newcomers. It doesn't take but about a week to get use to the newness of things and fall into the routine of a high school Freshman.

Also, we can host tennis sontests and other similar zompetitions. The courts do not just supply a place for our tennis team, but they also add more life to our campus.

Many aspects of high school appeal to the freshmen such as having more freedom, changing classes, and meeting new people. When asked the question What do you like best about high school that is different from elementary school? the students replied: Tina Howard: Getting to meet new people and you find out about others from different areas. LAST MINUTE. Fabian Sturdivant copies over a theme for his English class, which has been writing different kinds of themes preparing for the mid-term exam. Terry Hinson: More freedom and changing classes. Penny Broadway: I like having a little time between classes. Leslie Hathcock: You have a variety of subjects to help you with your career. Andy Hahn: More people and there's always something different happening every day. Keilah Hathcock: I like changing classes, there's more people to make friends with.

There are but very few students at West Stanly who don't watch television. When freshmen were asked what their favorite television program is and why it is, this is how they answered: Leslie Turner - Webster, because he is such a cute little guy.

They met new people from all ver Stanly County that became ood friends and share experiences 'ith them. Freshmen have a very usy year, considering they have to ake a full load of classes. They are equired to take a math, a history, science, an English, and a P.E. nurse. One of the biggest changes aming from elementary school to igh school has got to be P.E.. In physical education, students are required to dress out and participate every other day. The other days, they are required to take health. Each student must pass both health and P.E. to pass them for the year. Students seem to enjoy P.E. more in high school because of the different types of activities in our P.E. course. Soccer and football, are just two of the exciting new activities that freshmen have to look forward to. POWER PLAYS. Physical education classes allow freshmen to regain power to meet the rigid schedules of high school classes. FUTURE COLTS.

Just another meal, right? On Wednesday, November 23, three turkeys were seen walking down the hall- but they were not the kind to be prepared for Thursday's lunch. They were the Turkey Teachers. The Math Club held a contest that week during lunch. Students were to vote for their favorite turkey teacher by putting any amount of money in a jar with their teacher's name on it. The teacher with the most money in his or her jar won. The money was spent to buy turkeys for needy families in the community. On Wednesday afternoon the money was counted and there was a 96fFaculty tie between the men. Mr. Bill Talbert and Mr. Mike Huneycutt were the turkeys, as well as Mrs. Priscilla Perry who won among the women. Their award was to dress as turkeys and walk down the halls showing off their prize.

Facultyf97 Devoted Workers The cafeteria and maintenance workers have a great amount of responsibility for the way our school operates. The cafeteria workers start early in the morning with breakfast. Teachers, as well as students, take advantage of these convenient meals. School lunches are better than ever with the new salad bar and snacks available this year in the cafeteria, not to mention a variety of drinks to choose from. The cafeteria workers need to be congratulated on the fine work that they have accomplished this year. The secretaries, cafeteria staff, and maintenance workers are to be congratulated on the support operations of our school. Students do not realize the importance of the jobs that these people have.

Associate Superintendent Norman zterson takes time out of his busy day to an a book and preview the latest in lcational material. Team Leaders Although some people do not realize it, education does not stop after high school or college. Everyday brings new experiences and new decisions to be made. After the decisions have been made and the action carried out, the educational part takes place. It is a well-known fact that people learn from their mistakes, but they also learn from their accom- plishments. West Stanly is very fortunate to have leaders who learned from their accomplishments and mistakes. Mr. Tom Rogers is our devoted leader. He has been principal at West Stanly for seven years. His leadership has brought the people closer together and given them the courage to stand as one big family. Some of his many achievements include helping to get more computers for the business and ITL departments, working with the students to help them, and also working with the Colt Club helping to get the Field House and tennis courts built. Although these are only a few of his many endeavors, he keeps adding to the list everyday. He observes the classroom teacher while teaching to make sure their Project U.S.E. skills are being used. He even rang the cowbell for the beginning and end of classes one day while the electricity in the building was off. His devotion to his job and his concern for West Stanly has made the school a better one and the students and faculty more proud to be a part of the team. Mr. Joe Smith, Assistant Principal, is also a vital part of the team. He handles such duties as bus routes, magazine sale prizes, and disciplinary problems. He also makes the daily announcements. When you hear the clicking of the intercom in the mornings and afternoons, you know that the daily announcements are about to begin as he says May I have your attention please?', He is not only a leader , but also an informer and friend. The Stanly County School Board makes the final decisions on all major issues in the county schools. They decide how bad the road conditions are when the weather is bad and whether the schools should be closed or the opening delayed. They meet twice a month and students, parents, and faculty members from all of the county schools, come to voice their opinions on matters concerning the schools. The whole educational team plays a major role in the Stanly County schools. From the community leaders to the county leaders, Stanly County school system is still a good place for a good education.

Along with the de- velopment of the computer career field came the introduction of computer education into our curriculum. With the induction of classes such as Computer Programming and Data Processing, interest in computers continued to grow. But the computer classes were not the only classes to take advantage of the new computers, the typing classes used them also. These new educational machines helped make learning fun for many. Also taking advantage of the new computers were the Industrial Training Lab students. ITL played a vital part in the school curriculum. ITL gives additional help in various areas to many students. Not only did the students learn new com- puter skills, but they also learned ways to improve their academic skills. During class ITL students also learned various vocational skills. Classes such as ITL and Data Processing have equipped students for their futures in the working world. Skills taught in these classes and others like them teach students skills that can be used in their future jobs and their lives at home. Thanks to these classes, students can graduate with even more confidence in themselves and their futures as independent adults. COMPUTER TUTOR.

The Music Department advanced with classes such as, Stage band, in which the members perform during assemblies, sock hops and this year played for the local elementary schools. Also offered is Marching Band. In Marching Band students perform routines during half-time at foot- ball games and in local parades. If you enjoy singing, Show Choir is offered. The students in Show Choir sing at graduation, as well as other special occasions. Another form of art added this year is the Art class. The class was offered to any student, who felt they had artistic ability or if they just enjoyed art. Each week selected art work was displayed in the Library window. The Art programs provide a source of enrichment in the students and in the school. Art, Music!109 OUR FATHER, . . .

Inevitable Necessity For Living Language Arts is a vital part of high school education. West Stan- ly's program supplies the help and information needed to prepare for further schooling and living. The English program is broken into different sections of learning levels. For the highest levels of learning there are the Advanced Placement classes. After Advanced Placement comes the College Prep classes, which are geared for the college-bound student. The ITL program is for the slower learning student. Language Arts also included French, Literature of the Bible and Journalism. Each of these courses further enhance oneis life skills and horizons. Either way you look at it, English is a necessity, no matter what career you decide to pursue after high school or college. Language Artsfl 11 Xue if g X N , , up IXZZA .fi E . 'ra I ING ATTENTION.

Physical Science students Tammy Barbee and Erika Willoughby help each other take notes. LISTEN CLOSELY. Algebra II student Brent Ruffin, listens closely as Mrs. Thyra Drye goes over homework. Charting Your Course The areas of Math and Science are expanding due to the emphasis being placed on them. One reason for focusing on them is the demand for qualified people in these areas. More students are recognizing this need and preparing for it by taking advantage of the courses that are offered. Students are required to take two units of math in order to graduate. They can take two years of a basic math, such as, General Math I and II, or a specialized course such as, Algebra I, which would be followed by Geometry. If they choose to continue in math they can take Algebra II and follow it with Advanced Math. Also, in the Science Department, students are required to take two units of science in order to graduate. They can take Physical Science, in which they study the elements and perform experiments. Following Physical Science is Biology, in which they study the reproduction, structure, etc., of plant and animal life. If desired, courses in Chemistry, Physics and Advanced Chemistry are offered. In recent years many people have begun to take more than just the required courses. One reason for this is the realization that the math and science fields will become more demanding in the future and that more careers will be opening in these areas. Another reason is the quality and variety of the courses being offered in these areas. Math, Science Academicsf113 10?-fl 9 ' I 'x l M H THINGS ADD UP. Office Occ.

With the help of Lilled teachers and the new luipment, such as the ten new 'mputers in the typing classes, udents gain the experience and ,ill it takes to be successful. The curriculum that is offered at 'est consists of Accounting, troduction to Business, Data focessing I, Typing I, Typing II, iorthand, and Office Occ. I and II. earbook is also taught in the business department. No matter what the class is, the main objective of the teacher is to teach students to be efficient and successful in the area that they are planning to go into. In Accounting, one learns how to set up and operate the financial part of a business. Shorthand is used by secretaries who take dictation and it is a way to write faster using the Gregg Method. Computers are making the jobs of the future, and Data Processing deals with learning how to use a computer properly and how to program. Offic Occ. I and II teaches one how to use different types of office machines. Typing I and II teaches students how to key material into the microcomputers and how to use electric typewriters. They learn typing skills for both personal and business use. In Yearbook, writing skills, designing layouts and preparing pictures are all very important to the publication of the book. They also learn about selling and designing ads. Businessfl15 Life Preserving Skills Just as a boater has to know certain life preserving skills, people also have to know certain basic skills for life. These skills are taught through the Home Economics and Agriculture programs. Many differ- ent classes are taught in these programs such as: Home Ec. I and II, Family Living, Advanced Foods and Childcare, also taught is Agriculture I and II. These classes teach students the basic skills for living. Therefore, students are preparing for a future after school has been completed. Although todayis world is a place of many challenges, an education in life preserving skills will help students to except these challenges. FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE. In the Agriculture Department the students deal with first-hand experience quite often. Nevin Huneycutt and David Efird work with parts on a Ford tractor in class. 116fHome Ec., Ag.

The vast array of jobs is growing as more and more high school students begin deciding how they want to spend the rest of their lives. These students begin their training early so that when they graduate, they will have some background and be able to go on to college and become a specialist. At West Stanly, classes are taught to train students for the jobs of the future. Such classes include Auto Mechanics, Brick- laying and Carpentry, Cabinet- making, Distributive Education and Fashion Merchandising, Draft- ing and Electronics. The Auto Mechanics course, taught by Mr. Jerry Crayton, is an on-the-job-training course. It teaches the students to Hdiagnosei' the problems with the vehicle and know how to correct it without any problems. Many of the students, after completing an optional 3-year program, can be qualified to go to work as a mechanic right after they graduate from high school. Bricklaying and Carpentry is a combined course because of the relationship of the two courses. Part of the year is spent learning how to build a house and doing the touch-up jobs on the house. The other part of the year is spent CHECK IT AGAIN. Seniors Darin Hatley and Todd Hinson concentrate on what they are designing to make sure their measurements are exact. One of the main objectives of Drafting is to be exact and be precise. I l8fVocational Begins Now learning how to lay the brick and make it look good. Under the leadership of Mr. Harold Burris, the Bricklaying and Carpentry classes have a yearly project to build a house. Mr. James Mills teaches the Cabinetmaking classes. The students learn how to build their own furniture and accessories so that they can make their home more comfortable and still know that they could live in something that they had built and furnished.

The clocks were out of order for a couple of days due to a power line that had been knocked down. 120fVocational The Distributive Education and 'ashion Merchandising are also ourses that help to finalize a career Future Begins N ow decision. These classes, with the help of Mrs. Cheryl Hollifield, can determine whether one certain job is what they really want to spend the rest of their lives doing. Distributive Education teaches the student to be assertive in his or her job and to take pride in the job he LOOK, LISTEN, AND LEARN. Mr. Harold Burris shows Darryll Bolton and Troy Clark the correct way to lay the brick as he explains the procedure. Mr. Burris teaches the Bricklaying and Carpentry class. HAMMER YOUR HEART OUT. Jacob Whitley demonstrates his technique of hammering to Mark W. Williams and Randy Helms. They are in Mr. James Mills' 2nd and 3rd period Cabinetmaking class. holds. The students take this attitude with them to work everyday. But while they are at work, they get class credit while still earning money for themselves. The Fashion Merchandising classes learn to recognize the styles of clothes and what styles will be in for next season. Many of these students go on to major in fashion merchandising and work in the buying area of the fashion career. Drafting, taught by Mr. Bill Talbert, helps future architects to decide if that is a suitable career choice for them and teaches them how to draw a blueprint and make their measurements be exactly right. Electronics is a field where many new students are shocked at the results. Under the guidance of Mr. Mike Huneycutt, they learn that electric appliances are nothing to play around with. It is a serious job that no one is to take lightly. The students not only learn about electronics, but they also learnto be proud of their jobs. Because today's world is creating more jobs, more specialized people are needed. The people who know their jobs well are the ones who keep advancing and discovering more to create more jobs. The training needed for this specialization starts here, in high school, where great minds are discovered to help generations of the future. MAN VS. MACHINE.

Working Gut: Mind and Body The importance of learning about our nation and other nations' history is being emphasized here at West. Freshman take U. S. Government because it is a required course. Sophomores take World History and Juniors take their last year of required history by studying American History. A new course, added to the choices of history classes, was offered to Seniors here at West. The class was Sociology in which students learned about society and the behavior of people in society. Physical Education was required for only one year. Many students continued to take P.E. to better their abilities in many sports. The advanced students who play school sports Worked out for class in the weight room at the field house. We found that improving and building the strength of our mind is equally important as doing the same for our bodies. Social Studies, P.E.! 125 WORK, WORK, WORK.

These students enjoy listening to Mrs. Holbrooks' ex- pressions as they toil through novels and study guides. 126f Studying EE Homework Habits One way to make good grades in school is to study. By that, it is meant to make the effort to learn by reading or thinking. Although most students do study, not all students study the same way. Each person has his own unique way of preparing for class. This is just a few ways students said that they studied: MAKING THE GRADE. Learning to type takes a lot of concentration. Marty Hathcock concentrates on his daily typing lesson to get a good grade in Mrs. Barbee's Typing I class. Cyndi Hinson: Most of the time what I do is look at the T.V. and do my work at the same time. Andy Hahn: My favorite way to study is by doing my homework and listening to the radio at the same time.

Students at West Stanly are expected to live up to the schools expectations. Some students rise above their own expectations, these are known as the honor students. These students gain honors for their special talents and are also recognized for their capabilities. They are sent to different schools or workshops to further their interests in certain fields. The representatives for the Civitan Club are chosen by the faculty for their leadership abilities. They each spend a week at Civitan Camp taking classes in leadership development. The faculty also chooses the DAR Good Citizen Award Representatives. DAR stands for Daughters of the American Revolution. A boy and girl are chosen to represent the school and have a possibility of winning scholarships. Boy's State Representatives are chosen by the faculty too. This representative is required to spend one week at Wake Forest and take classes in government. Governoris School nominees are required to meet certain standards. Test grades, apptitude test and achievement test scores are tallied up to make sure that they have a certain amount of points required for this honor. The nominees from West Stanly compete with other students from the different high schools for county nomination. Winners of the competition spen six weeks at Governor's Schol taking academic courses.

Honorsf129 Any Way You Look At Sports . . . othing Comes Close Hours upon hours of draining practices, the days when you thought you just would not make it, the times when the coach embarrassed you in front of the whole team, the times in the lockerroom when tears ran down the cheeks of every player, and the way you felt when you saw your name in the newspaper for the first time - they all made up the best and the worst of times that went along with being a part of the best team around. In every athletic events, athletes realized that it meant more than just having your picture in the year- book and being called a jock - in fact, that was just one of the fringe benefits. Being a '4jock meant that all your afternoons were spent on the field or on the court and most of your nights were spent traveling to games on the activity bus. It meant feeling great when the scoreboard was on your side but it also meant being a good sport when it was not. It took guts and courage to make it through but it was deemed worthwhile when your team made it to the playoffs QUICKER THAN LIGHTNING. With the speed of light, Freda Smith throws a quick shot to first base to prevent having loaded bases. Smith has been a starting pitcher for the West Stanly Lady Colts for two years. 130f Sports Divider or when you received an in- dividual award at the Sports Banquet. But unfortunately everyone did not get that individual award and every team did not make it to the playoffs. Maybe you did not always play for a winner, but at least then people did not call you a quitter. The fact that you had given 100'Zn and played your best meant a lot to the coach. Even the winners could not have made it without the others on the team. After all, thatis what teamwork was all about - playing together as one. The ,V yg benchwarmers were just as im- t portant as the starters - they had to have somebody to practice with. Throughout the year, being the best around meant no less than hard work, courage, and determination. Records were established, spirit was increased, lessons were taught, and respect was won. It was learned that one plus one did not always equal two - that to be the best meant working together and having a little luck along the way. SURPRISINGLY STRONG.

With team spirit at an all time high, the Colts went into each game as if the pride of West Stanly was left up to their winning. This sense of pride in their school and high expectations for themselves helped to carry them to several wins in a tough Rocky River Conference. Even the members of the baseball team that did not get to start supported the team with lots of 132!1983 Baseball enthusiasm and encouragement for the starters. The leadership of the team's six graduating seniors will be missed, but new leadership is bountiful on this ball team. With the leadership of seniors such as Stan Barbee and Eddie Whitley, the West Stanly ball team pulled off wins against arch rivals, North Stanly, and South Stanly. Also the Colts team lost no more than one game against any team except Albemarle and Pied- mont. All in all this season can be considered a winning season. TEAM SUPPORT.

EX f W if lways A Winner The Lady Colts of 1983 had a break-even season. They finished with a record of 8-8. Coach Anabel Speight was pleased with her team that consisted of mostly Soph- omores and Juniors. Disappointed as they were about their 8 losses, almost every one was by a close margin. Playing doubleheaders on almost every Wednesday, the girls' only split games, one win and one loss, were with Forest Hills, Charlotte Catholic, Parkwood, and North Stanly. The 1983 season started out cold and wet. The Lady Colts' first game 134f Softball WAITING FOR THE VICTORY. Waiting PITCHING IN THE WIND.

But the Lady Colts were not to be outdone. The next five consecutive games were winners as the Lady Colts defeated South Stanly and 5 Mt. Pleasant, and split with Forest Hills. Coach Speight stated that she was pleased with the team's performance.

After weeks of diligent practicing, twelve were selected. Expectations of home courts being finished in time were shattered, thus requiring the team to travel to different courts to play their matches. This brought forth the problem of practicing facilities. The Carolina Avenue courts in Albemarle were agreed upon, but the lumpy surfaces prohibited beneficial practicing sessions. Regardless of a losing season, the team was represented well in the conference tournament. Three players survived the first round and surprised a number of opposing teams in their final performance.

One could truly say that the team functioned like a well-oiled machine, with the offense and defense working together, forming an almost unstopable force, whose goal was to win, and this force would do so.

Injury also played a factor for the tennis team with three of the top six players getting hurt before the season's final match. For this reason the Lady Colts had to make use of some of their reserve players. Although the Lady Colts tennis team had a record of 3-5, only two of the eleven players graduated and they hoped for stability on the team in the coming years.

Rookies On The Run From early November to mid- February, the life of a basketball player was not just the thrill of victory. Many times, dinner at McDonald's and leaving school early were not privileges. Long afternoons of running, shooting, and passing were often trying. The challenges that were ahead were just a part ofa year of ups and downs for the rookies of the Junior Varsity squad. As practices began, the season faced a new coach, a new team, and a new beginning. At first, it was like the blind leading the blind, says Coach Kim Brown. We were all rookies and we learned to respect one another as well as to play together which meant alot to the team. A season of ups and downs 156fBoys' JV Basketball proved to be a good start for many of the rookies as they learned that you did not always play to win. The team met several challenges during the season. The opening game against Charlotte Latin proved a close one as the team lost by one point. The season continued with narrow losses and heart-breaking defeats. Towards the middle of the season, the team picked up the pace and the winning as each member becameaunit ofthe entire squad.

They began training early and planned five pep rallies for football season. These pep rallies held many fun events such as the Sexy Legs Contest. The winner ofthe Sexy Legs Contest was senior varsity football player, Chip Hatley. The cheerleaders also set aside a day to recognize all the senior football players, they gave each senior a miniature football and, a lollipop. During basketball season, things grew hectic because drama was preparing for their first show of the year. Three ofthe cheerleaders were busy with the show for a month but after the show was over, things settled down and were back to normal. At the end of the season the girls had many new stunts, stands, and cheers. They worked hard all season and pulled the Colts through over thirty games with their smiling, cheery faces. WARMING THE BENCH. After sitting on a hard bench for about three hours, the Varsity cheerleaders keep high spirits and try to cheer the Colt team on to victory. PUTTING IT TOGETHER.

As the temperatures gradually dropped, fans continued their faithful support. Crowds huddled and bunched up under patched quilts and multicolored blankets. When a touchdown called the crowd to a stand, blankets were forgotten and were often found underneath the bleachers. As football came to a close, the fans moved to the gym. The entire building came alive with shouts, cheers, and crys of discontent. Each season held its own thrill and drew its own special crowd. Each event allowed not only students but people from the community to come together to be a part of the pride of West Stanly. BRAVING THE STORM.

The band parents sponsor many d raisers during the course of the year. the year the Colts were supported in every way possible. Not only did the support go to our football team, but to the tennis team as well. This year the girls tennis team played with a real home court advantage for the first time ever. The new tennis courts were completed just in time for the final Girls' home tennis match against Charlotte Catholic. Thanks to the Colt Club and many proud supporters we now have athletic facilities equal to, and in many cases, surpassing that of our rivals. Support didn't end there, the parents of our band students and our yearbook staff gave their support constantly throughout the year. Activities for band and yearbook last throughout the summer with camps and workshops which parents finance or help raise funds to finance. Drama parents and interested persons in the community play an important part in the success of the Colts. Their support comes from selling tickets, advertising and assisting back stage. The entire community and surrounding area enhance our drama program by the enthusiastic support and atten- dance of the drama productions. Credit for the success we have achieved this year must go to the parents who have offered their support and encouragement in all our endeavors throughout the year. Without the support of families and friends, the goals we have set and overcome may have been only dreams for the athletic teams, organizations and entire student body. IN YELLOW JACKET COUNTRY.

Parents! 165 Any Way You Look At Organizations othing Comes Close It's the part of school that made it bearable: it's the part that got you out of class, it's the part that gave you an excuse to go to Pizza Hut, it's the part that made you feel like you belonged, it's Organizations. Even though you went absolutely broke, you drove your car on fumes for a week, and saved your lunch money everyday for the first month of school, in order to pay your club dues, it was worth it. You gladly sacrificed these petty things in order to be a member of that for the prom. In some clubs, you may have been an officer while in others you were a piece of the pie. Whether you planned or par- ticipated, you made the most of the year's events. Even though events ranged from spending a week in Florida to selling Christmas Cards for the Children's Hospital, you and your friends made braving the cold to help others just as fun as sunbathing. Some times the fun was getting out of class to play teacher for a day and other times it . ll' auqmportant club' Zlgjertisemeflets Whether it was to meet that real cute guy ing summer vacation. No from homeroom, to go to Florida in the spring or just to be a member did not make any difference. The fact remained that you felt like you belonged and throughout the course of the year, you enjoyed everything from selling pizzas to decorating IT'S ALL IN A DAY'S WORK. With an appreciation for good humor, Mr. Bill Talbert accepts his Turkey Teacher nomination. The objective of the election was to raise money to buy turkeys for the needy. 166fOrganizations Divider matter what the project was, it was worth starving a little or pushing your car a lot. Organizations brought you closer to your classmates, and allowed you to share, to enjoy, to give, and to just belong. GRIN AND BEAR IT. In order to raise club money, FFA members sold oranges to community members. The club raised several hundred dollars which were used to sponsor field trips and club projects.

This is true, but there is a wealth of responsibility to encounter, that cannot be overcome by the average student. The Student Council members serve as a proxy between the student body and the faculty. These servants of the people, relay the request and needs of the students to the appropriate people, to get results and answers to the needs of their peers. XJ in I c,.. S.

These outstanding young people are deserving of high honors. Together with leading students in the school, Student Council helped to instill a sense of pride and self-dignity throughout the school. Student Council successfully sponsored four sockhops with West Stanly's very own Stage Band named Dazzle. Student Counci also managed to sponsor the Homecoming for the 1983 footbal season. As a result of the hard wo of a few dedicated young men ai women, the 1983-84 school year ha been a great success, and somethin to make future Student Counci members work harder for.

Advisor Nancy Morris puts the finishing touches on the inauguration pictures in the school's library window. First Impressions People say that first impressions are always important and that they determine success or failure. If this is true, the Junior Civitan must have made a whale of an impression on the students and teachers. The first impression was delivered by Mr. J. E. Jerrell in early September. Mr. Jerrell discussed the purpose of Jr. Civitan and the activities for its members. After the meeting, officers for the new club were chosen and plans rolling. The members began their year of community service by helping with the Special Olympics on October 25. Handicapped children from the Greenwood Center came in and coupled with the members of Jr. Civitan for a day of ribbons, prizes, hugs, and picnics. The fun of being kids for a day was shared by adults as well as teenagers who attended l74!Junior Civitan tai the very special event. The fun kept on as West Stanly Jr. Civitan chartered with the biggest club of N. C. District West, and made our sponsoring club, Albemarle Civitans, very proud.

Representatives of Human Relations Club, Marla Ashcraft and Zanna Worsham, ride through the Oakboro Christmas Parade. Every school club was represented by one or two young ladies chosen by club members. - Putting It Each year, club members from years past assembled together to choose new members. Since mem- bership was limited, interested students filled out forms. Ac- cording to the information, members voted on new students. Since club purposes and ideals were different, questions and standards differed. Political Awareness club used this method to select the new members. In order to be considered, a student had to have maintained at least a B average in history as well as a good record in other classes. Applications and grades were taken into 178fPAC, Human Relations In Writing consideration and the new members were chosen. Human Relations used a similar method to choose its members. Students were nominated by former members and were discussed on the basis of their conduct and service. After discussing the nominees, the club chose the new members. After new members were chosen, a meeting was held to discuss club projects, introduce new members, and begin the new year. Overall, the use of the application has become very standard. Students seem to agree that it is a fair way to be judged. 3, ..... ,,,, .... me 'NIMS' MOMENT TO SHARE.

Fourth Estate! 183 In The Swing Of Things Of all the clubs at West Stanly only one is restricted to just Home Economics students. This is the Future Homemakers of America Club. This year the club was active with many new projects and ideas. The officers and a few select members attended the Leadership Rally at Wingate College. During the Christmas season many ac- tivities were carried through. For example, a Christmas tree cake was given away. For one week raffle tickets were sold during lunch to interested students. The following Monday the winner was chosen. The lucky winner was Connie PARADE TIME. When it comes parade time most all of the clubs at West Stanly are represented in one way or another. FHA is no exception. Sharing a car in the Oakboro Christmas Parade is Jackie Dwelle, Miss FHA, and Claudette Barbee, Miss Fourth Estate. TEA-TIME. One of the annual duties of the Home Economics class is to prepare the food for the Teacher's Tea. Carolyn Helms, Lisa Blalock, Kim Clark, Callie Jackson, and Patricia Huntley prepare orange balls for the tea. 184fF HA Blalock. The club also participated in both the Albemarle and Oakboro parades. A Miss FHA was chosen to represent the club. This year she was Jackie Dwelle. Also the club had a FHA Dinner at the Western Steer of Albemarle. Santa Claus made a surprise visit just in time to give gifts to each member. Although these are just a few of the activities, the club was involved in many more things throughout the year. FHA is drawing more attention to Home Economics and those things which it represents by becoming a club more in the swing of things. CHRISTMAS SURPRISE.

FFA! 187 Skill: An Ever-Growing Contribution The Vocational Industrial Clubs of America are just few of the many clubs at West Stanly that provide their special skills to the school. These skills are used to build or repair things for the school, teachers, and students. For example, the Auto Mechanics department has provided their services for the repairing of the school van. They have also been called upon to fix teachers' and students' cars. Students in Cabinet-making have made a variety of things from hope chests to toy boxes for teachers and other people who have called upon them. 188fVICA Graphics is a course that is taken at Endy Elementary School. These students are responsible for the printing of The Sage, West Stanly's school newspaper. The Electronics department spent some time at the beginning of the year correcting the faulty mechanisms of the school clocks, and getting them back in working order. These are just a few of the many contributions that the members of VICA have given to the school and individuals. VICA provides students with a number of skills that they will always have a special use for. PIE HEART OF THE MATTER.

VICAX 189 In The Spotlight Just because a student takes drama, it does not make him a West Stanly Player. To qualify as a West Stanly Player a student must be willing to work many hours during and after school on each and every production. As any drama student knows, it takes a great deal of work to produce an almost flawless performance. The most important qualification, in advisor Jim Ken- nedy's eyes, is professionalism. West Stanly Players must be willing to carry on the tradition of professionalism that the Players have had for many years. PREPARATIONS.

Helping Hands The Distributive Education Clubs of America and the Future Teachers of America are just two of the many clubs at West Stanly. Both clubs have performed community services and participated in many activities around the school. During Christmas DECA sponsored a needy family by giving them canned goods. DECA also went to the Southern Christmas Show over the Christmas holidays to compare new fashions and colors. DECA not only performed community services, but they also competed in many contest with l94fDECA, FTA DECA clubs from other schools. This past year FTA also sponsored a needy family. Sponsoring a needy family is just one of the many helpful services that FTA has performed. One of the largest programs sponsored by FTA is the annual blood give-in which is also co-sponsored by the National Honor Society. This program draws a large crowd from both the community and the student body. Both FTA and DECA participated in a number of community projects each year. They also contribute to the development of our school. IE PRESSURE OF DONATING ,OOD.

Library Assistant Myra Drye volunteers her time to help Veronica McCall find the statistics she needs to complete her report. STRICT ATTENTION. Library students pay close attention to Librarian Miss Tammi Young as she delivers the familiar lecture on duties and expectations of her staff. From applications to dues, from meetings to projects, clubs have many purposes and goals. Some clubs use projects for educational value or school functions, while others work to serve the community. Library Club worked more for the community while Camera Club tried to help amateur photographers improve their style and technique. Besides helping students find needed material and straightening books, Library Club members engaged in several other activities. During the fall, members attended a district meeting at Wingate College where they heard of meaningful projects. From the list recorded during the seminar, members planned their year. The 196!Library, Camera Images of Style favorite project among members was Story Time. Clubs from each of the county schools attended Quenby Mall where they told Ghost Stories to children. These stories originated in the Piedmont and helped children to identify to surrounding areas. The Camera Club also maintained a busy year. During club meetings, members have viewed slides of professional photography which were provided by Kodak. After the presentation a discussion period was held. Methods and techniques which were discussed in the show, were elaborated on. Members shared times that these methods have proved beneficial and asked questions about instruments that would add even more to their st The officers of the club planne Show and Tell session to furt improve photography.

They also voted to replace the turn table for the music room stereo. When they met, they were entertained by musicians from different areas of North Carolina. Frank Profitt performed for the February 13 meeting. He is an artist in-residence at Stanly Technical College. Because of his background in Boone, his performance was the traditional mountain and bluegrass music. The MAC Club is one consisting of talented musicians. The mu- sicians came from such classes as Band, Stage Band, Beginning Guitar, and Show Choir. Though they are not the largest club at West Stanly, their pride shows just as much as any larger club.

While attend- ing Carolina Publications Workshop in Spartanburg, SC, yearbook members try to decide on decisions that will make their next yearbook the best. Amazing Miracles Deadlines, Deadlines, Hthatls why they call it the blues. Throughout the year, these deadlines brought headaches, worries and frequent comments from Ms. Lowder. However, the troubles turned into good times with jokes from the old members and even the new staffers. Darryl's 1775 broke the mono- tony of yearbook class. That special table seemed to be always waiting for the staff to return. Yet, Mr, Frog somehow was never able to be captured on pictures and the waiters all seemed to turn red at our yells. Even King Kamehameha was glad to see our presence. But all play does not get the work done, and for that reason the staff had to return to West Stanly. Once again drawing layouts, cropping pictures, and typing body copy as well as folio tabs, not kickers but folio tabs, seemed to be normal. Many nights the staff returned to work until 9:00 pm. Sometimes Sunday did not seem to be a vacation from school as editors traveled to Albemarle to check in layouts at Ms. Lowder's. Comments such as bag your face , Fm going to kill them , and how anyone could spell West Stanly West Stanky , are only things that the editors could possibly understand. Somehow, through a year of troubles with typewriters and an abundance of liquid paper, the yearbook was published. Those of us who survived Room 214 knew that miracles still happened. 200fYearbook THE DAY IS FINALLY OVER! As the clock strikes 3:00 pm, yearbook members begin to put up their work until the next day, when the worrisome job will begin again. WHICH PICTURE GOES WHERE?

Yearbookf201 Support for Success The parents of students in the intermediate and marching bands at West Stanly are undoubtedly supportive in many ways. The parents are always involved in activities to raise money. The projects the parents take on help to further the band in what they want to achieve during the year. The list of projects undertaken goes on and on. During the football season the band parents work the concession stand for the JV games. Also, in the fall they sponsor the Poor Man's Supper. All of the work involved is taken care of by the parents' volunteered time. They sold pom-poms and West Stanly Spirit Towels. The band parents also supported the pizza sale. Orders were taken every month during the school year. Later in February the band parents raised money at a spaghetti supper along with a bluegrass concert. Also, during the summer they sponsor tractor pulls. All of the money raised through these activities is contributed to the band for their use. The money helps the band 202fBand Parents members in many ways. The following is just a few of the things that the money contributes to. First, the band members had a Christmas party at the Lions Hut in Oakboro. A reception was also held following the All County Band Clinic. The clinic was February 17 and 18. In the spring the money helped to host the Music Awards Banquet. Last, the band members are planning a trip to Florida in May. They will visit Disney World, Epcot, and Sea World. They will also perform before approximately 60,000 people. All of these become possible because of the hard work and time of the band parents. The support that the band parents give the band members is tremendous. With everyone dedicating time and contributing services many things are achieved throughout this school year. The band is very fortunate to have such a support group behind them. Much thanks needs to go to the band parents for all that they have done for the West Stanly High School Band. ALL WASHED UP.

Each person has developed his own expression language which is totally unique, yet understandable. Over the course of the school year WHO ME? Sophomore Darin Helms entertains Mrs. Sherry Smith's sixth period English class with a fewjokes after giving his oral bookrepgrt. NAP TIME. Senior Dale Hunsucker takes time out from the terrible heat of Track practice to catch up on some much needed rest. STYLE. Sophomore Dionne Osborne demonstrates her style of singing and the best way to hit that final note in the Drama production America in Song with a tribute to Judy Garland. students from Freshmen to Seniors learned quickly the vital letters of the expression alphabet. For example, everyone has been punched or elbowed at least once as a warning of an approaching teacher and everyone learned that expres- sion that comes over a teacher's face before she assigns the entire class D-hall. These things we used constantly yet maybe never realized how important they were. What would life have been like over the years if everyone looked and acted exactly the same all the time? Probably very boring. Expression has helped us in other ways too. All those gag gifts that were given at Christmas, how much fun would they have been without the surprised expression that came over the receivers face? Expressions became an outlet for our feelings since birth. Everyone had their own special way of letting people know they were happy or sad, mad or sick. Expressions were our way of letting the people around us know what was going on inside us and thanks to them we were able to share our feelings without ever saying a word. Expressions!205 Any Way You Look At Communities . . . othing Comes Close Mysteries, love stories, biographies, autobiographies, magazines and yearbooks . . . what do they have in common?

Of course, it does. Being eighteen had always meant adulthood and night clubs, until the Safe Roads Act was passed. This law controls drinking and driving. It is favored by many but it also limits eighteen-year-olds to 228fAds Teen Nights at their favorite night spots. The new law was the subject of many conversations and debates. Many mixed feelings were shared among the students such as: Greg Henson: The new 'Safe Roads Act' is okay I guess but the legal drinking age makes me sick because I cannot get into the discosf' Freda Smith: I like the new 'Safe Roads Act' because it makes the highways a safer place. I think drunk drivers should be punished more than they have been in the past. Under this new law, perhaps everyone will be satisfied. Undoubtedly, it will alter Senior life as it was known in the past. In addition to this, it will also make North Carolina's highways a safer means of transportation as well as provide a stiffer O punishment for those convicted of drinking and driving and consumption of alcohol by- minors.

Shopping for that perfect outfit, the shoes to match, the birthday card for that special someone, or even a favorite tape seems to be a hobby for a lot of people. The hassle and the hustle of a mall full of people is the typical scene on a Saturday morning. Walking into a store and realizing the masses of people who are already there, you wonder is you'll come out alive. But in you go to become one of those masses of people. The big sale is at the back ofthe store and there are six or seven people standing over the table you need to get to. You decide to come back later and rummage through what is left. Many people, however, like to join the crowd and get the best buys first. But there are other reasons why people enjoy shop- ping. To some it can be relaxing. To others, a relief from the same routine of work or school. Tina Tucker likes shopping at Monroe Mall because she used to live in Wingate and knows what is going on there. Michelle Hinson and Rexanne Mullis chose the Record Bar and Music Mart because they like music and the variety each has. Custom Built Cabinets Leigh Anne Deese and Kendra Turner like to shop at The Limited. They liked the top fashions and large selection to choose from. GREETING SHOPPERS.

In recent years, students have been exempt from exams if they had not missed too many days and their grades were good, provided that the teacher approved. This year everyone must take both midterm and final exams. The exams were given on a county-wide basis. Many students differ when answering the question of taking exams. Scotty Harwood: Well, it thoroughly makes me sick? Sandra Ingold: I thing that if people are made to take exams that they will lay out more. Mike Huneycutt: I think that the old policy where you can be exempt with the right grades and not missing many days is best. Steve Furr: I think that everyone should lay out on exam days. Terri Sells: I don't like them but I think you should get use to them if you plan to go to college. Nancy Terry: I think that they should be made easier than what they are because it is impossible to remember everything that we have learned throughout the year. Darin Hatley: I don't like the idea even though I will probably have to take them in college.

For example, they learn how to cope with the little old lady who comes into the garage and says that her car is Elxaking a funny plunking oise. When auto mechanics tudents were asked what they iked about their three-hour lass, they replied: Daniel Fitton: I like Auto echanics because of the good nowledge we get from Jerry rayton on how to work on scars. Chad Austin: I enjoy Auto Mechanics because of the things we do and the people I work around. Clayvon Eudy: I enjoy Auto Mechanics because it is educa- tional. I enjoy working on engines and it is important to enjoy the job you do. Todd Smith: I enjoy Auto Mechanics because it is good experience to have if you need to work on your own car. We also have a pretty, cool teacher. Todd Huneycutt: I enjoy Auto Mechanics because we learn alot and we have a good teacher. I do enjoy working with my friends. We have fun and learn at the same time. Richard Cascio: I enjoy Auto Mechanics because I enjoy working on cars and expressing my knowledge about them. Most of all, I want to enter a profitable field. Randal Burr: I like this class because of the learning experience and also for the fun of working on engines. The teacher is easy to get along with also.

It seemed that a truck hit a power line, sending the lines to the ground thus cutting off the power. Although nothing electrical worked, classes still continued. The bells wouldn't work so Mr. Tom Rogers, principal, remedied this problem by parading up and down the halls ringing a cowbell signaling the end of classes. When students were asked what they were doing while the lights were out, many varied responses were given. Tammie Lapish: I was being bored to death in chemistry. Sharon Almond: I was straining my brain trying to get ready for an advanced math test. Tommy Rogers: I was in electronics and I thought I blew everything up. Mark Little: I was in the backroom of the library and I couldn't find my way outf' Annette Broadway: It was fun when the power went out because we couldn't type. Tim Haigler: I was asleep.

This is certainly true of the principal of West Stanly High School, Mr. Thomas A. Rogers. Mr. Rogers is a man of strong principles and high standards. He believes in our school and in our students, faculty, and staff. He is highly visible around school. Frequently he goes to class to observe both students and teachers. He believes in fairness and the worth of every individual. When you look the world over, it would be very difficult to find a better principal with higher principles.

Many people think marriage is something that is entered into by people who are out-of-school and working, but not at West Stanly. We have at least five happily married couples in school this year. They are Barton and Dana Thomas Baucom, who were married on January 7, 1984, in Chesterfield, South Carolina. Dana says that she loves married life, even though it is difficult to come to school and be married. She says that finding time to do homework is a problem. Next, there's Jeff and Twyla Kidd. They were married on September 10, 1983 in Barbee's Grove Baptist Church near Oakboro. Also, Sandra Burleson became Mrs. Ricky Hahn on December 24, 1983. Sandra says that she loves married life. Chad Burris and Lisa Patrick tied the knot last summer. They now live near Ridgecrest. Lastly, Tommy Rushing took Sherry Hartsell as his bride on December 23,1983 in South Carolina. Times have changed. Only a few years ago it would have been almost unheard of to get married before you graduate from high school. THE HAPPY COUPLE.

What does your yearbook mean to you? Some people feel that it is a record book, while others feel that it is a picture book or a story book. When questioned here at West, they replied: Pam McSwain: To me the yearbook is the best around. In future years when we look back at high school, we will remember our friendships and the great times we had.', Wendy Page: It's memories from the whole year - a keepsake that everyone needs. Jamie Hazelwood: It symbolizes school spirit and pride. Linda Adelwerth: The year- book is something to cherish and a way to remember all the wonderful things that happened during the year. Also, it gives you a picture of everybody to keep forever. Julie Manshack: It's some- thing to look back to and re- member the good times. Mr. Mark Cook: I can already look at yearbooks from year to year and watch my hair go away. Memories, pictures, history, records - whatever you expect from a yearbook, we sincerely hope that the 1984 Pegasus will meet your expectations for many years to come. CELEBRATING THE DEADLINE.

When the evidence is right in front of your eyes, the only logical thing to do is give in - what you've got is the closest there is to the best. From Students Life to Communities and everything in between, records were broken and new ideas were tried. There were more places to go and newer things for students to do. Many found satisfaction in getting a job or a new car while others injoyed flying abroad for the first time. Whether it was driving your new car or shopping on the Champs-Elysee in Paris, it was newer and better than ever before. For people, there were new faces and new friends to be made. At first, Seniors knew the Be tf- very few Freshmen, but as the year progressed, Freshmen belonged. The Juniors spent the year learning how to survive Holbrook's 12.1 English Class and making it through their first SAT. Sophomores enjoyed the fact that they were no longer Freshmen and joined with the upperclassmen in inducting the Freshmen. Every class came together to participate in Sports. New records were set in the long jump by John Kendall. Kendall set an all-county record jump of 23' 2 1f2 . School records were set by Larry Hill and Frank Waksmunski. With the football team came a winning season and a tie for Rocky River Conference play-offs. Basketball season brought fans and players together for three months and 20 games of winning and losing.

Whatever the season, records were proven once again. The fun of Student Life became a way to pass the time in class. Academics was a test to those daydreams and surprisingly Academics won. With newer classes to challenge the minds, there were more records to break. Art classes found their way into the curriculum and proved to be a welcome outlet for students. The basic courses hung around like the measles but competed for students attention in an exciting new fashion. English classes were permitted to watch such educational movies as Macbeth and Where The Red Fern Grows. French classes attended plays and concerts portraying the customs of France. Computers brightened subjects ranging from yearbook to auto mechanics. The list went on and on but one thing was true: where Academics was concerned, the changes were welcome ones. Like other record-breaking events, Organizations had its own winners. Junior Civitan chartered with the biggest club in NC District West. Surpassing other clubs, Junior Civitan carried on the tradition of being the best. But without the help of our supporters, being the best would be an even tougher act to follow. The money received from our advertisers made it possible to release the evidence and get the facts out. Their support throughout the year seemed to prove that the crowd follows the best.
