-l . . Q rg treasure time Wonder if I get anything? Was the thought going through the minds of students as they got ready to go to the Athletic Banquet and Awards Day. On Award's Day outstanding students were recognized. Larry Morgan, a graduating senior, read more books in the library than anyone else. The library was given a set of books in his honor that he hadn't read. Several seniors received scholarships to colleges and were commended for their outstanding academic work and high achievement. Near the end of the Award's Day assembly the new Student Council officers took their oath of office for the coming year. Every spring the Athletic Banquet was given to honor the athletes in all sports. Awards were IN THE SPOTLIGHT. On Award's Day the Softball Team is being honored for winning the Rocky River Conference Tournament. presented to the most exceptional athletes in their specific sport and metals were given to all participants. The coaches were shown appreciation by team members which reminded them of the year that they had. Brian Flowe said, lt was one of the most emotional events of the year. This gathering was an emotion filled time with tears of joy and happiness. Tracie Pickler expressed, It made me realize how many people participate and take pride in West Stanly through athletic com- petition. Wanda Hatley said, As a senior I feel that the sports Banquet is very successful in two ways. First, the students are rewarded for their time and effort in many different sports. Secondly, the athletes have the opportunity to say thanks to all the hard work and extra time put in by each coach. 16 'A wards ' r.,, Q My I

A -. ree 1 Graduation nd of the Emotions were high as the graduation ceremony for the class of 1984 began. ln each graduates mind were thoughts of what was to come. Each one was filled with uncertainty. The graduates remembered the good and the bad times they had, but mostly the good times. Thinking back they were reminded of the wisdom they had gained, the responsibility they had earned, the friendships they had made, and the things they had done. As each graduate walked down the hall, they realized that this would be their final trip as a part of the student body. Although graduation was not perfect, lt was HAVING T0 SAY GOOD-BYE After the graduation ceremony, Carmel Allen takes time to say good-bye to Tom my Rogers, but their friendship won't end.
