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.

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.
