THE RT CLUB SHINES O AS A EW ADDITIO TO WEST V LLEY HIGH SCHOOL. An active new Art Club was started this year by an active new teacher, Bev Byington. Ms. Byington describes the club as an 'iindiviclualized interest groupf' lt allowed students to come after school and work on art projects for extra points or, in many cases, money. Some students received art pins as rewards for their efforts. One of the Art Club's primary interests was stimulating school interest in art. One method it used to accomplish this was the doodle banner contest. Students from the different classes competed by drawing on their respective banners during lunch periods. The Art Club also participated in useful money making projects. They manufactured Wolfpack note pads, as well as banners and posters for other groups within the school. To promote a more positive school atmosphere, officers Osvaldo Ruiz and Ron Jones along with Ms. Byington decided to design an award for scholastic achievement. There is great artistic ability at West Valley. The Art Club sponsored art contests to showcase this talent. This is why the Art Club was such a welcomed addition to West Valley's after-school clubs.

The staff decided to make format changes early in the year. The paper was no longer made in tablet form but went back to the conventional size paper of earlier years. Also, many features from last year, such as UCollege Corner, Rock Review, USenior Stars, 'LCrosstown High, and Did I Really Eat That? , were no longer a part of the monthly issues. With the help of their advisor, Mrs. Green, the staffers raced all around school and outside of school digging up current material that they could print. They reported factually and accurately the goings on around school and also anything that happened in the community that would possibly effect the school. Even with all the changes that had to be made the 1980-81 Blizzard staff adjusted well, put their experience in journalism to good use, and produced yet another great school newspaper for the 1980-81 school year. 42 BLIZZARD Ever dedicated to his task, Jay Weaver stamps out return addresses.

With the art of communication down pat, the debate team concluded a year of many events. Using the information from many sources to build a structured argument, West's team challenged Monroe and North Pole in several local meets. With the help of Mrs. Burnside to shape the young debator's skills they came out on top in many of these competitions. The debators worked hard on the years topic, Consumer Product Safety,since only the three best participants earned a berth in the state competition in Anchorage. West debators held a Spring lnvitational Debate Tournament in March that included such categories as Drama, Humorous Interpretation, Extemporaneous Speaking and Radio Announcing. Using their creative abilities to the highest level, West presented a formidable force to all who challenged them. 1 The 1980-81 masters of persuasion are: Coach Marsha Burnside, Sonja Rosenburg, Marcia Caswell, Rainer Hollerbach, Jessica Gavora, Carl Trlplehorn, Kathy Gibson, Abbie Johnson, Klana Thompson, Heidi Koerfer, lnge Espe, lndrek Burggraf, Allison Young, Jimmy Gleason, Stephanie Zeitler, Assistant Coach Ms. Merritt.

The main goal of the Foreign Langu Club was to raise money and provide support for the American Field Service AFS is a community service that prom information on other areas at both the school and community level. From an initial group of nineteen, eig expressed interest in the AFS exchange program. One West graduate, Linda Winters, lived in Turkey during the 195 81 school year, and in the past, West h sent others overseas. Contributing their leadership to the cl were President Sharman Murpheeg Vice President Theresa Chongg Secretary Duane Davisg and Treasurer Maria Choi The club was under command of new advisor Mrs. Gray. Among the new and original events was the first annual Foreign Language Olympics. It was hel at Lathrop and was a great success. It'. many events ranged from a pretzel eati contest, Escape from East Berlin, Swiss wrestling, to an all-schools soccer game. All in all the Olympics were truly enjoy Though the club was by far not the largest club, it still had great enthusiasrr and contributed to another great extra- curricular activity at West!

FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLUB 47 GROWING AND LEARNING WERE A P F.F. ' Admmng the results of their efforts are Kim The Future Farmers of America was not just another class, but also a club which has had nationwide recognition since 1928 as one of the largest and oldest youth groups in the United States. There were ten students in the class who met everyday during sixth hour under the direction of their advisor Mr. Behner. Members of this group learned about many subjects related to agriculture including such things as soil conditions and forestry programs. Although this was only their second year of existence at West Valley, members of this group were involved in many projects including raising steers, pigs and sheep to earn money for themselves. They also raised rabbits, grew plants and held a raffle in order to raise money for their chapter. One of their major accomplishments for the year was helping to establish an F.F.A. Week in Fairbanks. In November, West Valley's President Jennifer Tomany represented the state of Alaska by attending the F.F,A. National Convention held in Kansas City, Missouri. Other officers of the club included Vice President Kim Leslie, Treasurer Kerri Rutt, Secretary Tamsin Stone, Sentinel Derrek Rawlins, and Reporter Teresa Tomany. Members included: QFront Rowl Teresa Tomany, Derrek Rawlins, Amy Cameron, Kerri Ruttg fMiddle Rowl Jennifer Tomany, Tamsin Stone, Leslie, Amy Cameron and Kerri Rutt Jane Younggren, Kim Leslieg QBack Rowj Advisor Mr. Behner, Doug Holman, Kent Kahler, Gustavo Ocampos, James Reynolds.

The club's advisor was Mr. Ristow, who had been the advisor for the three preceding years. The president of Key Club, Sherina McDonald, had the responsibility of organizing Key Club members, meetings, and projects for the year. Because of their close affiliation with the Kiwanis Club, the Key Club was involved in projects within the community such as helping to liven-up Careage North and distributing telephone directories. During this past year the officers were given the opportunity to run tening attentively to suggestions at a Key 3 meeting for the Kiwanis Club- b meeting is President Sherina McDonald.

KEY CLUB IS DEDICATED TO SERVING THE COMMUNITY various organizations such as the Kidney Foundation and the March of Dimes, a Muscular Dystrophy Skate-a-Thon, and the operation of a concession stand at the Special Olympics. The Key Club underwent some big changes. The most notable change for the club was that they no longer had the Keyhole. With only seven members at the beginning of the year, there were not enough members to run the Keyhole. The Pacific Northwest Key Club Convention was held during the spring in Washington. The fact that several members were able to attend the convention as well as the International Key Club Convention held in July attracted many new students to the Key Club. Officers of the Key Club included Vice-President Lars Stevenson, Treasurer Linda Candage, and Secretary Kim Pelosi, all of whom provided invaluable assistance to the club's president and the rest of the Key Club. Secretary Kim Pelosi seeks some information on the next Key Club function. KEY CLUB 49 THE MIND'S EYE PROVIDED A PLACE FOR CREATIVE MINDS TO DISPLAY THEIR WORK With threats of death and destruction any students of West Valley who did no submit their short stories, photos, or artistically oriented projects, The lVlind's Eye staff got the 80-81 school year rolling. Probably the most noticeable differenc this year was the Mind's Eye sponsored apple-of-the-month awards, in which one teacher a month would be the proud recipient of a huge plastic apple full of real apples for the teacher to munch down during the course of the month. During the meetings after school on Mondays and with the help of their advisor, Mrs. Clark, the Mind's Eye staff drummed up new recruits, new support, and also new threats to spring on the unsuspecting students of West Valley. So for those students who had that certain ability to dream up a good short story, take amazing pictures, or doodle works of art on paper, the Mind's Eye offered an outlet for the literary talents.. The Mind's Eye will always make themselves heard, and they gave West Valley students a chance to be heard through their own natural talents. Ann Clark designs an 'Apple-of-the-Month' poster.

These members have met demanding criteria in areas of character, leadership, service and scholarship. Under the guidance of their advisor Sally Allison, the busy year proved successful. For their initiation, these members were kidnapped from school, and were forced to wash car windows, then they were driven to Chena Hot Springs for a fun day of swimming. That day they had their first official meeting where they elected the new 1980-81 officers. The officers are as follows: Matt Colonell, Pres., Jennifer Brice, V-Pres., Mimi Lee, Sec., and Uwe Hollerbach, Treas. This prestigious group consisting of twenty-five Seniors undertook many activities during the year. To start the year out right, they entered a float in the Homecoming Parade, and held their annual Progressive Dinner. They also sponsored the Faculty Tea, and their Valentines Dance was a tremendous success. They decided to take on a new challenge by working on a Science Research Project for Ms. Pomeroy. During the winter months they located, gathered, and organized scientific information for the new resource classes. At the end of the year, they enjoyed the pleasure of initiating the new oncoming members, and planned a memorable induction ceremony in May. o cl ' e the books f r the ub s until he r 3 52 NHS viewpoint, Pres.

The West team showed its strength and depth by beating out tough competition under excellent coaching provided by Mike Ables. West placed 13th out of 104 teams at the 1980 National Junior Indoor Championships. The Thanksgiving Invitational Rifle Match again showed West Valley to be a well-disciplined team as they took first in a field of 10.

Student Council was responsible for much of the school's development of academic, athletic, and social activities. As in recent years, Student Council represented the student body in school and extra-curricular activities. They ventured beyond their usual sphere of influence and participated in a state-wide conference held in Anchorage called the Alaska Association of School Governments KAASGJ, an organization that provides opportunities for the exchange of ideas in student governments. Selected council members, under the supervision of advisor, Mrs. Green, brought back new concepts to share with the rest of the council members. In its second year, Regional Student Council and West members Paige Wallace, Cheryl Looney, Delisa DeVargas and Jimmy Gleason, combines efforts for new regional input. Our active student council sponsored such activities as the Homecoming Dance, class hall decorating contests, the annual Fall Leadership Workshop, dress-up days, fund-raising projects, and a canned food drive. Student Council also took over the Keyhole, once operated by Keyclub, and renamed it the Munchbox. It provided the students with a wide variety of nutritious food at a low cost. Also they whipped up an inspiring theme: I can: you can: together we will, With increasing activities, Student Council proved to be even more helpful and led the student body at West through another exciting eventful year. 56 STUDENT COUNCIL Advisor Edie Green overlooks her productiv student council members.

STUDENT COUNCIL 57 The excellence of the 1980-81 Thespian club made advisor Gene DeWild's final year a memorable one. The club featured three first rate productions, Tilly the Teller , Camelot , and The Murder Room . Tilly the Tellern was an old fashioned melodrama that was performed during homecoming week. The play helped get students into the spirit of the homecoming game. The hero, played by Howard Morgan, wore a West Valley football jersey. The Thespian Clubfs next production was the classic musical Camelot . lt was a major success due to the fact that many choir members took roles. Lancelot fArun Sharmal, Arthur tLeif Thompsonl, Guenevere tAbbie Johnsonl were all choir members. The detailed backdrops, lavish costumes, and inspired performances signaled to all who watched, the hard work and time that was put into Camelot , The Murder Room was a murder mystery farce. It completed the wide range of plays that the West Valley Thespian Club is capable of producing. West's Thespian Club is good experience for those who plan to go further in their acting careers. For those who didn't wish to further their acting experience, it provided an opportunity for their personalities to surface, and it is these surfacing personalities that have made Gene DeWild,s Thespian Club a success.

THESPIAN S 59 Thespian Troupe 4628 participated in several events in the Spring of 1981. First, they took part in the Elizabethan Festival held on April 21. At this event they performed scenes from some of Shakespeare's plays and held a contest in which people guessed the number of jellybeans there were in a container. The winner, Terry Wyke, was given a dinner for two at the Sizzlers. Soon after the Festival, the Thespians went to the state Competition in Anchorage. West's entry took third overall, the highest place they had ever achieved. First places were taken by Abbie Johnson in Solo Acting, and Abbie and Justin Karella in Duet Acting. Those participants who placed second were Heidi Koerfer in Solo Acting, Debbie Reynolds in Humorous interpretation, and Tom Clarke for his technical package. The Thespians concluded the school year with a very successful spring.

The staff was looking for a break from the media themes of the past two years, and as you can see, it came up with an original and suitable replacement. Diana Hall and Kelly Wien, the editors, brought six years of experience and knowhow to staff with many new faces. The copy staff with many new faces. The copy staff, headed by copy editor Bob Burcell, was where many of the new faces got their assignments. They brought fresh new copy ideas with them. A yearbook is only as good as its pictures. They are the center of attention. Even though Tim Olson headed a virtually all-new photography staff, they came through with the photos that made this yearbook a great one. Layout and ads were two areas with experienced editors, Kelley Kipp on layout and Heidi Koerfer as ad manager. These are two essential areas of the yearbook, and both staffs performed smoothly which made everyone elsels job much easier. The Aurora staff also had a new advisor, Ms. Baker. She did extra homework to become as knowledgeable about the job as possible. She was uncompromising when it came to quality, and hard to please in many cases. She kept the Aurora's standard of excellence high. When you thumb through this yearbook, keep your yearbook staff in mind. They have produced a yearbook that will keep your memories alive!

Junior class officers Randi Sole and Mike Wien enjoy the success of their carefully planned Junior Prom. The Junior class was active in West activities throughout the 1980-81 school year, continuing their tradition of school spirit and class pride. The Juniors proved stiff competition for the Seniors in Spirit Cup points by taking first place in the Halloween hall decorating contest and Anything Goes Assembly, and ranking high in other spirit competitions. The Juniors' favorite fund raiser was selling suckers on special occasions. They also brought Dilly Bars to West Valley and cooperated with Dairy Queen to use the Dilly Bars as a steady source of income. They also held a drawing for a free stereo system, and students could receive entry blanks when purchasing Dilly Bars. All the fund raisers pointed towards one major goal- the 1981 Junior Prom, As a result of their careful planning the Junior Prom was a great success. The Class of '82 expressed much appreciation for their advisor, Mrs. Becky Wilbanks. Her skillful and loving guidance helped to make their junior year a successful one, and they looked forward to their senior year with enthusiasm.

This versatile group provided musical school spirit at home basketball and hockey games and, in a more demanding vein, presented five public performances. These performances featured works from composers as dissimilar as Bach and Leonard Bernstein, and ranging from classical to contemporary. The Wolfpack Band shared a first ever combined concert with the Lathrop Malemute Band, and exhibited its usual superb musical talent at the Alaska State Music Festival in Fairbanks, The West Band was represented at All- State by 16 outstanding musicians. One especially gifted musician, Bill Cox, even made it to All Northwest. Because of their accomplishments, the West Valley Concert, Marching, Stage, and Pep Bands showed themselves to be unequalled in their level of excellence. nmbers of the 1980-81 Wolfpack Concert Band are FIRST ROW: Scott Button, Valerie Tweedy, Anita Jayaweera, Karl Wennen, Greg Katai, th Milan, Helen VanAirsdale, Diana Zunker, Dawn Bratten, Misty Sundgren, SECOND ROW: Jenny Fellows, Tracy Conn, Lynn Johnson, Doug 'kinger, Gretchen Kind, Michael Lu, Ron Meier, Andrew Wareham, Alisa Katal, Kerry Jones, Sue Schneider, Nancy Rheeburg, Sharon Kim, Cridge, Mary Shroyer, Liz Andresen.

C5 , W1 R' , + '9 BAND 89 West Valley has always had a reputation for having one of the best music programs in the state of Alaska, and the Wolfpack Concert Choir is of course, an important part of this program. Under the direction of Marvilla Davis, the choir performed several concerts that were thoroughly enjoyed by ' all who attended them. The choir consisted of 57 voices, from sopranoes to basses and each voice added that special sound to the harmonious intonation which the choir was so famous for. Of course, the choir did other things besides preparing for concerts. They sponsored such events as the annual pancake feed, and the sing-a-grams during Christmas for those who wanted to send something special for only a quarter. Another major project which the choir was involved in demonstrated the special talents which the choir members possessed. This was the musical production of Camelot. Many of the actors involved in this production were members of the choir and held many of the leading roles, including the roles of Lancelot, King Arthur, and Queen Guinevere. The choir also sponsored several fund raisers such as a car wash held in the spring. They also sang at various businesses for special occasions like the Daily News Miner's annual Christmas party. Something new which the choir started was the formation of a jazz choir which consisted of a few select choir members who performed various pop and jazz tunes at concerts. With so much talent, it was easy to understand why West took so much pride in their concert choir. -rf , .4 W f .keg ' M 4 j.., I j, , .,,, , H,-,Q In complete harmony, the choir rehearses yet another song. 90 CHOIR WITH MUSIC IN THEIR SOULS THE CHOIR UPHELD THEIR TR DITION OF EXCELLENCE .... - .- ., .

Althoul there were only 21 musicians in this talented group, size was not a problem. They consistently performed outstanding concerts under the direction of Mrs. Matschke. The orchestra was involved in many events. One of these was the anm N.H.S. Faculty Tea where the orchestra provided music for the faculty to listen t while they conversed and snacked. When the orchestra wasnlt rehearsing a concert they participated in fund-raiser in order to raise money for their tour of Alaska. One of their fund-raisers include the annual Music Marathon which was a joint effort with the West Valley Concer Band held in the Bentley Mall. Together they played Christmas music for 12 hou The orchestra also performed their anm' Pops Concert and sponsored a dance to raise money for their tour. ln November several of these fine musicians attended the All-State Orchesf in Kenai, includingg Dana Button, Katie Fellows, Jennifer Brice, Karin Hollerbacl Theresa Chong, Anne Walters, and Kirs Secor. One of the highest honors which musician can receive was to be chosen 1 participate in the All-Northwest Honor Orchestra held in February and among those participants selected from West Valley were Dana Button and Theresa Chong.

Hardly a week went by when something special wasn't happening. Dances were held often and were well attended. The Senior Ball and Junior Prom were major events that after much careful planning were great successes. Holidays were celebrated in style, and every holiday friends and sweethearts sent each other anything from cookies to roses. Dress-up days were events that were looked forward to, and students enjoyed doning crazy Halloween costumes in October and rummaging through closets to prepare themselves for 50,5 Day in April. Students became involved in everything from the festive Homecoming celebration in the fall to the Shakespearean festival in the spring. School days were kept lively with such events as the canned food drive, the mock wedding, the Almost Anything Goes contest, the talent show, a drafting tournament and a wrestling tournament. One special event that involved the community was the Miss Alaska and Miss Fairbanks contest, and West student Jana Cannon received the Miss Fairbanks title. Of course the success of all the special events was made possible by the special people that made up West Valley's student body and staff alike. The 1980-81 Main Eventn proved to be a highly successful homecoming, and an event to remember for all involved. The homecoming activities began Thursday, September 11th, when Mr. DeWildls thespians put on a short melodrama entitled Tillie the Teller. On the following day, during sixth hour, the entire student body gathered in the gymnasium for what turned out to be an enthusiastic pep rally. There was a yelling competition between the classes for spirit cup points and also a spirit bucket competition. The seniors were victorious in both events. That evening at six p.m., the traditional school caravan left West Valley heading for the Big Dipper and the Main Event. The team bus was surrounded by Wolfpack backers who honked their support. It was fitting that our homecoming game be played against our arch-rival, Lathrop. The outsized Wolfpack put up a good fight before losing by a score of 29- 14. Various classes, clubs, and organizations spent a great deal of time on their floats for the impressive halftime presentation. Adding to the halftime festivities was the West Valley concert band which marched with military precision. On Saturday night the royalty dance was held. Crowned king and queen were Arun Sharma and Heidi Koerfer. Junior prince and princess were Dan McNelly and Cheryl Looney. Todd England and Julie Fate were sophomore prince and princess. Last but not least, the freshman prince and princess were Steve Caciari and Tracy Conn. A special appearance was made by The Sadisticsf' a group of Seniors dressed as punk rockers. This added spice to the dance and helped make the evening an overall success.

JUNIOR PROM 123 Snow was melting, days were growing longer and West Valley students shed their winter garments and attended a wide variety of spring events. Heading the list of activities was the Sophomore's Sadie Hawkins Dance, which proved by its attendance that West Valley students love to dress down and have a good ol' footstompin' time. On April 16, West students seemed to go back in time to an era of bobby socks and poodle skirts: 50's Day had hit the school and old saddle shoes and sweaters paraded around the halls. A costume contest, dance and Volkswagen stuffing contest were just some of the memorable events that took place that sunny spring day. Easter brought on added excitement with an all-school Easter Egg Hunt. Grand prize for the lucky winner, Alan Coty, was a dinner for two at Clinkerdaggers, while other eggs contained gift certificates for the Munch Box, Co-Op Records, and Diary Queen. Have you ever wanted to dance until dawn? Twenty-five couples tried to in West Valley's first Dance- a-thon, sponsored by Student Council. Although twenty-five couples started out, only five participants had the stamina to boogie the whole twentysfour hours. The last 3 V2 hours was a regular school dance for all West Valley students to attend. Spring was an event treasured by all Fairbanks residents and West Valley students were no exception to the rule.

With a little bit of paper and hard work, the commons area was transformed into the town square, where a variety of 17th century characters ranging from Maypole dancers and lepers to royalty figures including Queen Elizabeth and her court could be found. There were plenty of activities for the participants to be involved in such as singing, acting and fencing to name a few. One of the many highlights of the festival was a tribute to Shakespeare, performed by the A.P. English class. Another highlight performed to the delight of the audience was a skit done by several students in a Survey of Lit. Honors class from a scene in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Drama instructor Gene DeWild was also honored in a ceremony that topped off the THE ELIZABETHAN FESTIVAL PROVIDED AN EVENING OF ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY evening. He was first knighted by Queen Elizabeth, then Principal Rogers told Mr. DeWild that the school board had passed a resolution naming the Little Theater the Eugene W. DeWild Theater. The success of this year's festival was attributed not only to those who attended, but also to the large number of participants whose efforts proved to be priceless.

An arm wrestling tournament sponsori by the Mat Maids let West Valley boyls y show-off their bulging biceps. There werq four classes of competition with Ken Chaney winning the heavy weight, Jim Hobbs and Indrek Burgraff winning in th middle class divisions and Kent Slaughte winning the light weight class. The mone accumulated from this activity helped to finance the Mat Maid's trip to Kodiak fo, the State Tournament. Springtime was a time for recognition of accomplishments. Anthoney Wells wa: named Mechanic of the Year and receivi 350.00 for his skills. The talented Drafting classes participated in different contests and walked away with many awards. There were two levels of competitiong level twa dealt with students who had one year or less of drafting, level three dealt with students who had two or three years of drafting. Darrell Case was the big winnei for West. He won the level two contest. In the state contest Todd Wolfe won the Mechanical Division and Kevin Kenaston was awarded 515.00 in the Architectural Division for a model he built. Springtime brought out many talented West Valley students. J' Mechanic of the Year, Anthoney Wells diligently works on his engine.

At the ceremony, the bride Tara Murphy threw her bouquet of flowers and the lucky Kelly Ryan caught them. When the wedding ceremony ended the guests followed the newly weds outside, as the rice was thrown. During the reception, refreshments and a beautiful three-layered wedding cake were layed out for everyone to enjoy. It was a good learning experience for the students involved, and as lovely as any real life wedding. MOCK WEDDING 129 The end of October and the beginning of November was a busy time at West Valley. lt was a time of year when student activities were numerous, and spirit cup points were up for grabs. During the week before Halloween, two contests for spirit cup points were held. The first was the hall decorating contest, which was won by the Freshmen. This contest put everyone in the mood for Halloween. Everywhere one looked were monsters, skeletons, and spiders. At the end of the week came the Almost-Anything-Goesf' assembly, which was won by the Seniors. The four unusual events provided a rather lighthearted assembly, and a couple of good belly laughs. The rivalry between West Valley and Lathrop was renewed with another canned food drive. After a few rather obnoxious radio commercials produced by Lathrop involving the drive, West redoubled its efforts, and won by a wide margin. During periods such as this, West Valley's school spirit soars even higher than it normally is. It's no wonder West Valley shines. 130 HALLOWEEN Doubling up, Kim Leslie and Kerri Rutt show that they have PLENTY to offer.

X GENEROUS GIFTS AND BEAUTIFUL ROSES WARMED UP THE WINTER CHILL DURING THE HOLIDAYS Valentines Day and Christmas are times of year for giving, whether it's to onels sweetheart or just a good friend. Giving is easy during these times of year. The numerous clubs and organizations at West sold a wide variety of gifts, from chocolates to roses to a song. The gifts were conveniently delivered during second hour, and many of the young ladies at West needed wheelbarrows just to get their gifts to their lockers. One of the special activities for Christmas was the student potluck that took place the day before vacation. Students signed up and brought delicious food that was enjoyed in the cafeteria by the participants. The potluck was the first of its kind and a great success. Valentines Day was characterized by the same jovial and generous mood as Christmas. The N.H.S. and Debate Valentines Dance was the first of the Valentines events, and Mike Romick and Diana Hall reigned over the event as the King and Queen of Hearts. Holidays such as Christmas and Valentines spiced up the atmosphere at West and brought out the best in all who participated. Bearing a warm smile, Karen Blo?kcolsky reflects the cheerful spirit of Chr stmas.

P 'HE SENIORS PRESENTED A EVENING IN THE TROPICSU IOMPLETE WITH A GENUINE AW IIA TMOSPHERE The 1980-81 Senior Ball truly was an 'lEvening in the Tropics. The atmosphere that prevailed was warm and romantic. After delicious meals at various restaurants in town, couples arrived at the spacious Eagles Hall in the mood for dancing. Blackstone, the performing band, kept the dance floor filled by playing sentimental tunes old and new. Friendly conversation flowed from those who remained seated. The handsome men and beautiful women of West Valley found it hard to keep from gazing at one another because all were dressed in their best. However, dancing and revelry were not the only items on the agenda. Tropical dancers performed, followed by the crowning of the Senior Royalty. Lovely ladies dressed in grass skirts danced delicate tropical favorites, and much to the delight of all Trent McNelly and Laurel Orand were crowned King and Queen. The 1981 Senior Class can be proud of it's Senior Ball. Everything from the lavish decorations, to the band and dancers, to the photographers were near perfection, and the evening went off without a hitch. During the royalty dance Laurel Orand and Trent McNelly enjoy an unforgettable moment. i Reigning over the 1981 Senior Ball are: FRONT ROW: Queen Laurel Orand, King Trent McNally.

SENIOR BALL 135 Unusual West Valley will miss the expertise of Gene DeWild, and anyone who has ever had his class will know why. He has that rare ability of being able to make class interesting. This ability comes from his many years of experience. He has acted on the West Coast and has held many roles in local productions. Much of his experience comes from the Pasadena Playhouse, a theater where he acted, directed, and taught virtually all facets of theatric production. He has received several awards for his work and professionalism, and a feeling of professionalism is evident in his classes. Gene DeWild has not only received praise from critics, many of his students have also sung his praises, and not only students who have become actors. Because of his long career of hard work and excellence, Mr. DeWild was selected as the Fairbanks and State Teacher of the Year. Mr. DeWild,s classes are dominated by his patience and his voluminous voice. lt's hard to imagine how a man who has acted with and directed great actors could have the patience to teach a freshman drama class. lt's classes like these where he adds new meaning to the phrase raising his voice. He can blow you right out of your chair. Gene DeWild's retirement will deny many students the opportunity to take a class from a man who has shaped many. Those who have had the opportunity find that they have learned a great deal. ln his speech and drama classes he brought students out of their shells, giving them a chance to look at themselves. We can never thank him enough for this. Best wishes, Mr. DeWild. 136 DEWILD il Our beloved James Walker feeds the proje with another educational biology 1 The Great Swami fMr. DeWildJ keeps the students spellbound at a mid-winter pep assembly.

Gruesome disections won't be as wickedly carried out since the beloved James Walker left the staff. lt is his kind of personality that makes West Valley an ideal educational atmosphere, and he will be greatly missed. Mr. Walker's teaching career started early in Altoon, Pennsylvania, where he was brought up. While still in the 8th grade, he taught the second, third, and fourth grade reading. He graduated from Altoon High School in 1950 and completed his education by attending Penn State where he became actively involved. He graduated with a B.S. in education, majoring in Biology and minoring in Geography. ln August of 1960, after four teaching offers, he chose Fairbanks. Teaching at Fort Wainwright, Mr. Walker transferred to Lathrop in 1966, and then to West Valley, which he describes as the best school l have had the honor to teach in. Mr. Walker is often thought of as just a Biology teacher but he has taught many other subjects including reading, algebra, history, poetry, general science, zoology, and botany. His advanced placement biology class was the first in Fairbanks. wever, it was not just his experience and how that has enabled him to teach so we sense of humor made the hard work asier to bear. Mr. Wa r urned to Pennsylvania last June but he 'l aws remember how good the state of has been to him.

Approximately an hour later they bundle up and venture out into the artic climate to fight with their cars or trudge to the bus stop and hop on the big yellow limousine. They arrive at West sometime after 7:30 a.m., some early enough to talk with their friends, and some don't quite make it before the 8:00 bell. 9 Another day has begun for the West l student. l Taking advantage of spare time Nathan Hawkins uses the library to catch up on the news. . 115625 65 W , ,Q .A bkrlk in V ' LLL, 3 K -W fxag' L r toler oke Efficient and helpful student council members Leslie Quakenbush and Lisa Lajiness keep the line moving at the Munch Box. At 8:00 the tardy bell rings and the last stragglers hurry through the halls. Mr. Rogers can be seen stalking the halls prompting anybody remaining to get to class. Setting into the classroom atmosphere wasn't always easy, especially on Mondays and Fridays, but students managed. There were different activities to break the monotony of the classroom, and students and teachers combined to make the dull moments as few as possible. Second hour it was Mike Romick with the upcoming events and important information on the morning announcements and every Tuesday student council members came around with the homeroom reports. Lunch time could be spent in the lunchroom listening to the music, in the commons, or one could even leave for lunch, but time was the limiting factor. After lunch it was back to the classroom or over to ACDC for some students, and some were just returning from their morning at ACDC. The second half of the day usually went by pretty fast, and for many seniors 5th hour marked the conclusion of the day. Seniors could often be seen mulling around the halls or conversing in the library 6th hour. Finally at 2:30 the final bell rang, and school was out. 140 PHOTO STORY 1 Studious A.P.

W athrop opponent watches helplessly as Burcell puts in two more points towards :her Wolfpack success. 1981 was a good year for the sports enthusiasts of West Valley, participants and fans alike. More Wolfpack teams were region champions than ever before. The year got off to a great start as the cross-country running and volleyball team emerged as Region VI champions. The volleyball team went on to take third in State while the girls cross-country team took second and the boys took fifth. The football team had an up and down season, and although they emerged with a 3-3 record the games were exciting and well attended. The swim team came through shortly thereafter as the aqua-jocks, both boys and girls, surfaced with region titles. The boys team took second in State and the girls took fifth. As winter dug in its icy claws the hockey team and basketball team embarked upon exciting and successful seasons. The hockey team gave up only two games all season and took Regionals with apparent ease. The boys basketball team improved as the season progressed and were indomitable in the region tournament as they defeated Lathrop soundly. For the first time in West's history the boys varsity basketball team took regionals. They journeyed to Anchorage and placed third in State. The girls basketball team suffered several team setbacks but they never gave up and remained optimistic about Regionals and State. As spring appro. lied the wrestling and track teams looked rward to regionals. The powerful masters of the mat dominated matches as the season progressed, and the track team began a short but hard season. All in all it was a great year for West sports athletes and school pride was high as these dedicated athletes upheld the Wolfpack reputation.

THE 1980-81 SEASON WAS A STORY OF SUCCESS FOR THE BOYS VARSITY CAGERS The 1980-81 edition of the West Valley Wolfpack boys' Varsity basketball team was the most successful team in West's five year history. It won its, first region championship and finished the season with a sparkling 20-6 record. The team had five returning seniors lead by Captain Tyrone Thomas. After a rocky 5-3 start the team members got themselves together and learned their roles. They finished the regular season with a 17-5 mark. After the team's second road trip to Anchorage they compiled an eleven game winning streak, including three wins over tough arch-rival Lathrop. Because West was the number one seed in the region, they automatically played in the championship game. They faced their old foe Lathrop and sailed past the Malemutes 70 to 63. West Valley went to the state tournament ranked second in the statewide basketball poll to the undefeated East High Thunderbirds. However, because of the seeding, West faced East in the semifinals instead of the finals. West Valley fell to East as they had in their two previous meetings, but came back in the consolation game to take third With eyes intent on the basketball Bob Burcell and a Barrow opponent prepare for a possible rebound. Before the tip-off that will mark the beginning of another Wolfpack victory, team captain Tyrone Thomas meets with the officials and the Barrow Whalers' captain. in State. The Wolfpack owed its' late season surge to the maturing of its' seniors. Ben Blackburn, although only 5'10 , sprang to the boards and helped the team in that area immensely. The team was small and relied heavily on a fulllElUcourt press and a whirlwind fast break. The Wolfpack hounded their opponents into submission, and because of their greater playing experience were able to win close games that were decided in the final moments. West's domination on Region VI was evident when West landed three players on the all-region squad. Dave Morris, with his assortment of racehorse drives to the basket and thirty-footers was one of the region's best scorers. Bob Burcell was West's ball handler and field marshall. He played his best ball under pressure. Despite being outsized by many of his opponents, Dale Welty pulled his share off the boards and scored with numerous inside moves. The 1980-81 basketball team began a basketball tradition that is an example of the excellence that is constantly growing in West sports. BASKETBALL 145 n PEAKING T THE RIGHT TIME WOLFPACK GIRLS ENDED THEIR SEASON IN VICTORY Chosen as pre-season favorites with four starters returning from the '79-'80 season, the '80-'81 Varsity Girls Basketball team knew deep down that another successful season was ahead of them. Although experiencing a shaky start, the team fulfilled most of the pre- season predictions. The girls got off to a slow start. The team was almost too talented. There were so many good ballplayers, that Coach Hagglund had a hard time finding an unchanging starting five. Because playing times varied for the girls, consistancy was a problem. The team beat some very good teams, yet lost to some weaker ones. They finished with only a 16-14 record, but they knew they could do better. lt was a relief to everyone when the Varsity members were: FRONT ROW: Lucia LaFIeur, Calle Gonzales, Ruth Milan, Esther Lindemann, Anita Krejcig BACK ROW: Coach Karen Hagglund, Kerri Rutt, Pam Baker, Lori 'real' girls basketball team showed up for the Region VI tourney. The team overcame previous difficulties and many of the younger girls matured. They roared past Monroe and Lathrop for a state tournament bid. The girls made a strong showing in the Region title game. They led by as much as nine points, before in the third quarter key players fouled out, finally surrendering the game by three. At state our girls made a very respectable showing by taking fourth. They trampled Ketchikan in the first round before losing two close games to the eventual state champions Kodiak, and the Bartlett Bears. Congratulations to Lori Meier who was selected to first team All-Region, and to Helen Schruf and Pam Baker who were selected to the second team.

BASKETBALL PROVED TO BE AGGRESSIVE COMPETITORS f41G, q,1,1T,1J U KE 'ith ease, Kim Leslie shoots a bonus shot. J.V. basketball at West Valley is a unique program in Fairbanks. lt's unique because its primary concern is the development of the basic skills in as many ballplayers as possible. Players learn the fundamentals of the same offense used at varsity level. Basic shooting, defense, and ballhandling techniques are stressed equally with winning. This program has proved highly successful in recent years despite its different approach. First year coach Larry Noble piloted the boys squad to a deceiving 6-12 record. Of the team, Mr. Noble said, I enjoyed working with these guys, and I hope to be back next year. Under the guidance of a new coach, ex- Nanook Debbie Benson, the girls J.V. team also had a new practice format. Although they consisted of only eight players, they ended the season with an excellent record. For those players who desired to move up to Varsity, the J.V. girls program offered an excellent background in the basics of basketball. By claiming first in the Freshman Regional Tournament, the Boys Freshman team proved to be of superior quality. Coached by Dave Burglin, the team made West Valley's basketball future look bright. The 198081 J.V. basketball set a hardworking precidence for themselves. Their style of play was consistently hungry, aggressive basketball. Both teams played the type of game that was exciting to watch, making them easy to root for. e West Valley Girls Junior Varsity: FRONT ROW: Andrea Roysten, Lynette Salak, Tracy Murphy, Kim Leslie, BACK ROW: Coach bbie Benson, Courtney King, Sharon Kim, Julie Fate, Marcia Johnson, and Manager Joy Simon.

They boosted the enthusiasm in the right direction by selling spirit buttons, pom poms, holding cake raffles, and selling concessions in the Munch Box. These outstanding girls held a respected role in the school activities. They put up bright posters which added spark to many involved students and encouraged many more to come and cheer at the games.

This squad of go get'em gals sold everything from from Bake Sale goodies every Thursday to Valentine Shmoos for your sweetheart. They and the Mat Maids sponsored a dance in November and later they happily skated with the hockey team to raise money in the Skate-a-Thon. These girls were not just chosen for their flashy smiles. They needed to understand the rules and regulations of hockey, be able to fit in with a group of girls ranging in age from freshman to senior, and give advisor Mrs. Hyatt 10070 of their time and effort. The girls enterprising sales efforts and vivacious cheering were soon rewarded with a pizza party and trips to Kenai, Soldotna, and Chugiak. These spirited girls put their best feet forward and gave those Wolfpack pucksters an inspired ride to the region championship.

THE 1980-81 HOCKEY CHEERLEADERS AND MAT MAIDS HAD WHAT IT TOOK TO SUPPORT THEIR WINNING TEAMS While the talented Wolfpack wrestlers grappled their way to victory, the zealous Mat Maids worked relentlessly doing many behind the scene jobs. With the help of sponsor, Mrs. Rotolo, the Mat Maids ended the year filled with many memories and accomplishments. Heading the list of fund raisers was the third annual Rock-a-Thon when the persistent girls rocked in their rocking chairs from dusk till dawn. They sold elegant red roses for Valentine's Day and spicy red carnations to enhance the Christmas spirit. In designing creative locker posters for the boys every week, the Mat Maids displayed their artistic ability. Not only did the Mat Maids run the home matches, tally the scores, and keep official time, but their energetic yells spurred the wrestlers and delighted the fans. The Mat Maids aided the wrestlers on the road to victory. MAT MAIDS 153 Once again the West Valley harriers, under the direction of coaches Sprague and Carlson, proved their supremacy in Region Vl by winning all of their meets handily. With the sure-footed determination of champions, the cross- country runners easily won the regional meet at Eielson to earn a berth in the state-wide competition held in Palmer. The girls, lead by freshman speedster Mara Rabinowitz and sophomore Lucia LaFleur, narrowly missed taking the state title, losing to Dimond by only seven points, thus taking second place. Mara also captured second place individually at state. The boys lacked team depth but still easily took regionals and finished at a highly respectable fifth place at state. Andy White's third place individually paced the boys. Next year should be a banner year for both the boys and girls since they will lose only three seniors on the whole varsity squad. The cross-country running team will continue the tradition of reaching for the top. Starting with a bang, the Wolfpack runners prove their supremacy. 154 CROSS-COUNTRY WEST CROSS-COUNTRY RUN NERS LEAVE REGION VI RIVALS TO BITE THE DUST Forging ahead of the others, Mara Rabinowitz strides out toward another victory. themselves beyond their limits, Kris Manya Deehr, and Kim Leslie help another Wolfpack win, as Coach linseti scrutinizes his team. aining toward the finish, Kurtis Cooney With a positive look on his face, Willie Papp pares to pass a Monroe opponent. puts his best foot forward.

Led by team captains Joan Scarborough and Andy White, the girls and boys ski teams of West Valley were a dominating force in every ski meet they entered. Needless to say, they were undefeated, and usually captured the first four or five places in both the girls and the boys races. This year's ski team was one of the largest and most enthusiastic that the Wolfpack has ever had. Their spirit was reflected in every race as they virtually kicked their competition off the trail by easily defending their Region VI title. The 156 SKI TEAM I N - e A H is Q in mf 1' 1 . WOLFPACK SKIERS WHIZZED PAST THEIR COMPETITION N ALL LEVELS ski team then entered the State Invitational and easily glided to a first place finish in both the boys and girls competition to also capture the State title. Another major accomplishment for the ski team was their participation in the Tang Nordic races in which West Valley placed 11 skiers on the Junior Olympics Ski Team. At the 1981 Junior Olympics held at Steamboat Springs, Colorado, ten skiers from West Valley on the Alaska team competed nationwide. The skiers did very well in the individual events considering the weather conditions and the high altitudes. In the girl's division I, 5km race, Mara Rabinowitz captured a very respectable fourth place, while in the girl's division Il, 5km race, Sarah Swift took outstanding third place finish. The most grueling individual race for the division girls competition was the 7.5km race, ll Mara Rabinowitz managed to finish in t top 10, with a ninth place finish. Meanwhile, in the girls' division II race, 3.8km course, Sarah Swift finished in tenth place. Both of the boy's division and Il individual competitions were very tough. In the 7.5km race, however, Bri Scarborough and Andy White managed finish in the top 20, as they took 14th and 17th respectively in this event.

SKI TEAM wo'- This year's West Valley Wolfpack football team finished with a misleading 3- 3 record. They were an exciting team that improved as the year progressed. They featured a high-powered offense that included break-away runners like Seniors Ben Blackburn and Brad Adams. Junior lefthander Dan McNelly and Senior Tyrone Thomas proved to be a winning combination when the pass was needed. The defense, like the rest of the team, was small, but quick and full of punishing hitters. The defensive line was anchored by Trent McNelly. Linebackers Scott Winner, Wayne Sharp, and Jeff Studer kept opposing runners in check. Mary Perry became a major deterrent to would- be passers. The Wolfpack games were well played. The team reflected the sound coaching it received from rookie Coach Chuck Gold, an expro from the Oakland Raiders. Football in Alaska takes a special breed of player. Teams here battle not only other teams, but also the elements, from the dry dusty heat of the summer, to the snowy cold of late fall practices. Despite all of this, our team still gave their utmost in their quest for victory. With blockers Scott Winner and Ben Blackbrun leading the way, Brad Adams charges around the right end. 158 FOOTBALL WEST GRIDDERSg MORE THAN A MATCH FOR THEIR FOES 'ss . , 11 K 'L Lrgl i - ,K X ykf. - -if . , .,... ...... ..,, Ns Qgsm' it l5OC3TBlALL WVHS ,a, t opponent O I Eielson L20 28 Palmer 15 14 Lathrop 29 361 Wasilla il O 42 North Pole 16 16 Kenai 33 cwtsi l cL-si from --- ' ' ,1- phant Tyrone Thomas signals another alley touchdown against North Pole. f i ' nn- 1 5 Q-vwsnniayqn -1 1,-Q -.t,,.t,M ,A 'x 's Ng?

FOOTBALL 159 Blasting holes in opposing lines, dragging down quarterbacks trying to pass, and scoring many touchdowns were only part of the JV football team's goals. They also needed to build better skills and gain valuable experience to prepare them for the future Wolfpack Varsity football teams. The West Valley JV football team did just that. Behind the strong arm of Trent Carbaugh and the good hard running of Maurice Gamble, the JV developed into a functional and well operating team en route to a 2-3 record. Both the offense and defense played well, proving that West Valley was a team to be reckoned with. Says Bobby Coleman, one of the teams wide receivers: Next year the JV will be more experienced, so we should do better in the win-loss column. There were a lot of first year men this year, so we didn't have much experience playing as a team. Next year we will definitely do much better. The JV football team was a source of pride for West. The time, effort, and hardship that they put into representing West Valley on the gridiron proved that West Valley was still the one.

HE M The idea was put into action by Lori Nichols, who took it to Mrs. Byington, the team's eventual advisor. Babe Wiggener, a EW H professional dance instructor, was f recruited as the choreographer. Because it T was modern dance, the drill team could have been considered a sport. It was hard work for the girls as they soon found out. Tryouts were held in the fall. The 20 girls that were selected carefully planned the routines that they would perform during halftime at home basketball games. The girls were drilled by Mrs. Wiggener until they could perform flawlessly. All who saw them perform were greatly impressed. Their attractive faces and lithe figures were easy for anyone to watch and appreciate. The Drill Team was not a new idea at West, but because people like Lori Nichols got behind the idea, it became a huge success and promises an even larger turnout in future years. ff' J K My ,f .f .4 , ntlclpation of halftime activities, drill West's red and gold high steppers swing to llllll n members line up in formation. the beat, as they follow their routine.

The gymnasts took time to raise money for new uniforms b having a bake sale at the University Center and the annual With grace and precision Gretchen Kind executes a difficult back handspring on the beam. 162 GYMNASTICS This year's Cartwheel-A-Thon winner was freshman Gretchen Kind, otherwise known as Stretchen Gretchenf, She won with a count of 1,800 nonstop cartwheels. Even though this number sounds unbeatable it wasnft enough to break last year's record of 2,683 cartwheels set by senior Mimi Lee. The gymnasts strived for perfection, with the attitude of settling for nothing but the best, and in the eyes of West Valley they were the best.

Having lost only six games in the previous six years, the Wolfpack skaters triumphed in Regionals for the fourth consecutive year and swept the State Invitational Tournament for the third consecutive year. The mighty icemen finished the 1980-81 season with an incredible 15-3 record. The team once again started the season as the underdog to Lathrop. However, after an initial defeat by the Malemutes, the Wolfpack steamrolled the archrivals five times, including victories in the Region 6 and State Invitational finals. The team had plenty of experience with five seniors, including all-region selection Eddie Allen, and leading Senior pointscorer Buck Mahler. Underclassmen also helped the hockey team out tremendously. The team's leading pointgetter was all-region Scott Deely, who was only a sophomore. The team's leading goal scorer was all-region selection Rufus King, a junior.

HOCKEY 165 Composing himself for his next dive is Jim Roth. I I The 1980-81 edition of the West Valley Swim Team proved to be one of the best ever. The boys, led by Ken Chaney in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle, Carl Benson in the 100 yard breaststroke, and Jim Roth on the diving board, went undefeated in regional competition. They also turned in a very impressive performance at state, achieving a tie for second with Bartlett of Anchorage and missing first place by four points. Chaney and Benson also broke several region records, and both were selected as prep athlete of the week by the Daily News Miner. The girls also reigned superior in Region, being led by Roberta Atwood in the 200 yard freestyle and the 100 yard backstroke, and Ann Fellows on the diving board. Consistency was the word for the girls as their scores were pretty close through the various meets, and always good enough to win in the region. Their state performance was also good, turning in fifth place finish in a tough field of teams. Several newcomers to the team, such as the brother-sister team of Raymond and Susi Billings and Roberta Atwood, checked out well and showed themselves to be assets to this year s team, and could very well be the backbone to future teams as many members will graduate at the end of the year. 166 SWIMMING fi: il f - Vw' ,,,1g-g,,,,,w,,,w,, ,,.. 4 jj , . ,,, 'fflnuwsiff ,,,,,,,, , 0 in .re, Qjl ..

The 1980 volleyball season proved to be an overwhelming success for the Wolfpack team, as they established themselves as the major powerhouse in Region VI, Practice started in mid-August every day after school. The skillful coaching of Mr. Steffes fired up the team members while they perfected their bumps, sets, and spikes. The West squad got off to a slow start by losing to the Monroe Rams. However, with seven letterwomen, returning, including ace attacker Pam Baker, the inspired Wolfpack team improved the quality of their play. They worked their way to a productive 6-2 regional record, which tied them for first place with the North Pole Patriots. As the regular season came to a close, Regionals took place, putting West and their toughest competitior North Pole, in the championship game. Nothing could stop the peaking Wolfpack team from taking an impressive victory from the Pats. The West spikers made their best showing ever at state by capturing third place. West Valley placed two members on the all-region squad, Pam Baker and Lori Meier, as their outstanding play helped pave the road to Wolfpack victories. zw M The expert setting of Jodi Bushey and the coming spike by Anita Krejci are two reasons why the patriots bit the dust.

Members of the 1980 West Valley J.V. Volleyball team, of course. The Wolfpack girls consistantly played aggressive, enthusiastic volleyball. Their skill on the court was a result of the rigorous practices held by coaches Rotolo and Smith. Their prowess was easy to see in their record, near perfect. The first annual Region VI volleyball tournament was a disappointment for the girls. They lost and were eliminated in their first game, however this only leaves them hungrier for the 1981 Varsity season to begin. They won't stop until they have bumped and spiked their way to another West Valley region championship. Front Row: Helen Hisamoto, Tracy Conn, Chris Merritt.

He joined restling late in the year and wrestled V.. However, at regionals Gonzo took surprising second place. It was through the efforts of the J.V. restling squad that the Varsity squad as able to take the Region IV iampionship as shown by Viator and onzales.

WRESTLING 171 The West Valley Wolfpack dominated another Region Vl wrestling season. They took five consecutive Region VI championships by rolling over their old foe North Pole, and a much improved Lathrop squad. West had a younger team, a new coach and a smaller squad than in previous years. This is what made their performance so remarkable. Wrestling for Coach Frank Adame is a demanding task. He drove the team to its physical limits. They ran mile after mile, wrestled and sweated their way into top physical condition. They had to make a commitment to hard work. After a slow start in early season tri- meets, the team began to develop. They were led by the lanky muscleman Randy Talvi, Paul Snake Viator both seniors, and Wayne Animal Sharp and Kevin Kaltenbach, both juniors. After taking ' second in Region VI with a 17-5 record, the pack came out spoiling for a scrap in the region tournament. They stormed past their opponents to win the team competition by 16 points, 179-162. They captured four individual first places: Talvi, Sharp, Kaltenbach, and Derek Rawlins. However, the wrestlers who took 2nd and 3rd deserved much of the credit. West sent fourteen wrestlers to State where the team finished fourth, and had two individual state champions, Randy Talvi and Wayne Sharp. It was a satisfying season for Wolfpack fans and Coach Adame was pleased with the season because the team overcame a great deal of adversity. Nobody had given them a chance to win, but they never gave up. They built themselves around a solid nucleus of Talvi, Sharp and Kaltenbach. Their season was a perfect example of how tenacity and drive can pay off as they came up with another Region VI crown for West Valley. 172 WRESTLING WEST'S MATMEN TOOK DOWN THEIR FIFTH CONSECUTIVE Even though they aren't wrestling, Randy Talvi, Wayne Sharp, and Bill Merritt still get involved ln their teammate's match.

WEST TRACKSTERS PRO ED THEY WERE NUMBER O E BY DOMINATING THE REGIO While all the other sport seasons were coming to a close, track was just getting underway. With a massive turnout and warm temperatures, West track and field had an exceptional season. Head Coaches Woody Wenstrom and Lee Solis had two pre-season goals, to make sure their group of athletes had fun but at the same time take regionals. The coaches received it all in one package as a young championship team was formed. Mid'April noted the beginning of official practice. Hours of basically individual work put the Wolfpack in thorough condition. Both the boys and girls teams completed with a remarkable 6-1 regular season record. They exploded at Regionals by running over the boys' defending champs, Eielson, and also their tough girls team. Even more importantly, West qualified 16 tracksters out of the twenty-five events for the state meet at Bartlett High School in Anchorage. West benefitted from a group of talented athletes, a longer season and the use of their own track, giving the Wolfpack the winning edge.

The central purpose of school, of course, is learning, and West Valley was a great place to learn. The academic superiority at West was evident as students scored well above the national average on the C.T.B.S., A.C.T., and S.A.T. tests. The outstanding staff at West aided students greatly in their quest for knowledge. The Social Studies, Math, English, and Science Departments provided the basics in academics along with college level courses for those who participated in the school's Advanced Placement program. The Vocational Edi and P.E. Departments were also an essential part of the West curriculum, and students had the opportunity to learn anything from badminton and archery to art and psychology. The A.C.D.C. was a valuable option for many, and students learned practical skills there such as accounting and auto body. While students were busy learning and teachers busy teaching other staff members kept everything running smoothly. The secretaries skillfully kept paperwork in order and aided the administration in their many duties while the counselors handled scheduling and assisted students for the present and the future. The nurse worked hard to keep students healthy while the librarians handled a wealth of information, from books to microfilm. Meanwhile, the administration kept all aspects of the school functioning from day to day, handling discipline and generally overseeing all school functions. All in all there was no doubt that West was an academically excellent school.

I ,,..kf THE ADMINISTR TION GUIDED WEST VALLEY WITH SKILL AND PERFECTION West Valley High School students and faculty are privileged to have the services of three outstanding administrators: Principal William Rogers, Vice Principal Kathy Webb, and Activities Director Andre Layral. Chief of Administration, Bill Rogers, has experience ranging from grade school to high school, teaching as well as administrating. He is an avid sports fan, and can often be seen and heard at a wide range of sporting events as well as other activities throughout the school year. Unlike many principals, Mr. Rogers travels around the district trying to get, and getting, the best for West Valley, Though he is a busy man, Mr. Rogers is never too busy to sit down and talk to a student, thus keeping in touch with what is happening throughout the student body. One of the two recent additions to the administrative staff is Kathy Webb. She made the switch from teacher to Vice Principal. One of the many duties of the rookie Vice Principal is to urge students not to loiter in the hallways in between classes. The one sentence a student expects to hear when the authorative administrator approaches is, 'KGet to class, please. That is why many students are bewildered when she starts a pleasant conversation. Another newcomer to the administrative trio is Andre Layral, West's new Activities Director. lt's a big job, but Mr. Layral seems to be handling his new responsibilities very well. Layral had Disclplinarlan Mrs. Webb watches in amusement as John Viator looks into the camera. 202 ADMINISTRATION previously coached local swimteams. Besides teaching P.E. two hours a day, Layral also budgets money to various student organizations. It is a constant challenge for him to keep the money, what little there is, flowing equally in all directions. Combining their efforts, Mr. Rogers, Mrs. Webb, and Mr. Layral led the faculty and students of West Valley in an exciting and prosperous year. ,, ,i Y ll. .V in Y ,i ., Vg Mr. Rogers points out the way to class for any Kicking back for a well-deserved break is confused students that lag behind.

Although the Counseling Department and Library do not offer any classes to students, they are nevertheless an integral part of West Valley. The Counseling Department was head- ed by Mr. Larry Noble, who was a new- comer to West Valley. Providing assis- tance to Mr. Noble was Mrs. Rosemary Hayes and Mr. Frank McGuigan. Through their dedication and hard work the coun- selors were able to rebuild class schedul- ing for each semester from the students' inputs during pre-registration. This allowed students to have the fewest conflicts when they registered for the new semester. There were of course times when the classes they wanted weren't available. However, with the counselors's assistance students were able to rearrange a new schedule that would have benefitted the student most. The library's shelves were filled with one hundred and twenty-five periodicals and circulated eleven thousand books 26,000 times a year, yet, West Valley's li- brarian still felt that there was room for improvement. On Mrs. Thomas' future im- provement list were more recreational and physical education type magazines. The li- brary also contained helpful filmstrips and movies for teachers to use in class. The library served other useful func- tions along with its normal regular roles. The library donated its space and facilities for the annual N.H.S. Faculty Tea. The Librarian, Mrs. Thomas and her assistant, Mr. Goniwiecha, gave their approval to have the library branch out into other areas besides books. The Librarians and Counselors are very busy people, yet they find the time for every job, and make our educational pro- cess much easier. ,.-4 L to the job, Mr. McGuigan sifts through Cheerful assistant librarian Mr. Goniwiecha endless stacks of paperwork. types up library notices. Q,- COUNSELING 203 THE SECRET RIAL STAFF ND NURSE FOUND THEIR SERVICES GRE TLY NEEDED It isn't often you find people as dedicated to their jobs as our understanding nurse Mrs. Wilcox and the four working women who make up our secretarial staff. Always willing to help, Mrs. Wilcox took the time to talk to students and offer friendly advice. She gave short lectures in health classes, and was a reliable source of information to students. With student visitors totaling forty-five to fifty a day, Mrs. Wilcox was kept on her toes. Much of her work is basic first aid, cuts, burns, and following up on doctors prescriptions, and she also played an important role in the care and comfort of a quadriplegic student. Sometimes Mrs. Wilcox doesn't know whether she worked in a nurse's office or a storage room, where everything from hockey equipment to a baby boa constrictor has been kept. Working ten to five was a new addition to the secretary staff, Mrs. Kind. After transfering from Tanana Jr. High, Mrs. Kind worked as Mrs. Webbls personal secretary. Helping out with the attendance boards since 1976, Mrs. Hyatt has been an efficient secretary. Working behind the scenes was Mrs. Pratt filing transcripts and sending student records to colleges and universities all over the United States. Head secretary Mrs. Snyder controls all the money that flows in or out of West Valley. She writes up the purchase orders and anything that deals with West's big bucks . Mrs. Snyder also works as Mr. Rogers' personal secretary. These women are dedicated to helping students' and administrations' needs and wants. This attitude is greatly appreciated here at West Valley. A snappy joke by Mrs. Wilcox makes Adam Foltz' ear examination a little easier. 204 NURSE! SECRETARIAL STAFF , . Q . 1 ' A 44 B9 f if 5' N s.

Social Studies and English are two primary subjects in one's high school education. Both departments here at West Valley have a wide range of classes, along with those required for graduation, to suit nearly everyone's needs or tastes. West Valley also has the capable teachers to teach the classes, making school interesting and constructive. English department head Francine Mears is very popular with her pupils. She was teacher of the year in 1977478. Her classes include many enriching tidbits of information along with the normal classroom routine. Mrs. Mears also did a wonderful job of organizing the Elizabethan Fair, a carnival honoring England and the Middle Ages. The Social Studies department is headed by Doris Ray. Mrs. Ray is a reliable authority on just about anything related to the history of the United States government. She keeps her department organized and unified. The best thing about the English and Social Studies departments is that they are here at West Valley. The teachers make classes the easiest to enjoy in the region.

The Math Department, headed by Mr. Don DeWitt, offered math classes of every level, from Basic Math for those students who were less mathematically inclined, to A.P. Math for those who were more suited to this field of study. To further meet student's needs and to keep pace with an ever- changing society, the Math Department expanded their Computer Programming course from one class to three classes. Moving right along with the Math Department was the Science Department headed by Ms. Deborah Pomeroy. The Science Department offered a wide range F ...xii . 'self of classes to meet student's needs, from Basic Life and Earth Science to A.P. Chemistry and Biology. To satisfy student's further, the biology section was expanded to include two A.P. Biology classes. During the year one could have observed the diversity of these programs by the many activities that took place, including dissections, chemistry, labs, or a computer program at work. Among the new equipment which the Math Department received was most notably the Apple, a new computer terminal for the Computer Programming and Science Departments at West Valley. Students could now keep pace with a changing society. Computer programming teacher Mr. Reed demonstrates the versltility of the Apple. 206 MATH AND SCIENCE Math and Science teacher Bill Montgrain answers questions asked by students. Carl Holzmueller passes back graded homework as Nancy Winford hurriedly scribbles some last-minute notes. STUDENTS H D A CHANCE TO DE ELOP THEIR SKILLS IN VOCATIONAL ED. ND P.E. West Valley offered many different learning opportunities for their students to take advantage of. One of the many advantages which the students had access to was the wide range of quality facilities they had at their disposal. Two prime examples of this could be found in the North wing of the school where the physical education and vocational education facilities were located. The physical education facilities were among the most modern high school facilities found in Alaska. Students had a wide range of P.E. electives to choose from, including everything from aerobics to volleyball. Because of this, the physical education classes remained some of the most popular in the school. For many students, vocational education classes allowed them to take basic courses in auto maintenence, mechanics, woodworking, or welding without having to make the daily trek to A.C.D.C.. Some of the instructors who taught these diversified classes were Mr. Napolilli, Mr. Shawcraft, and Mr. Thayer. There are many reasons which make West Valley a great place to have received an education, and the number of modern facilities offered to students were just one reason why.

D VOCATIONAL ED. AND P.E. 207 The Adult Career Development Center CACDCD was a treasured neighbor at West Valley. Students at West could pick up where our own vocational education wing left off, and it was so close that it was a mere five-minute walk away. ACDC provided the opportunity for any high school student to learn a skill, and enter a well-paying career without going to college. The best thing about ACDC was that, for students, it was free. Students chose from a wide range of classes, from auto mechanics to secretarial skills, cookchef, printing, custodial skills and many more. Because the building was shared with adults, the classes were conducted in a more relaxed adult atmosphere. The building was also shared by students from other high schools, allowing students to meet and go to school with students from schools other than their own. The Adult Career Development Center was another reason why the education one received at West Valley was best. 208 ACDC AND JANITORIAL STAFF ACDC AND THE JA ITORI L STAFF BOTH PROVIDED SERVICES TO WEST V LLEY tease ...fft it it Typing out an intricate program for her computer programming class is Donna Koelzer.

These were the people who went about quietly doing their work almost unnoticed, until one looked at the first-rate condition of our school. They were the people who got the unenviable job of cleaning the eggs off the outside walls, or any other maintenance jobs that needed to be done. They deserve our gratitude.

With the end of the 1980-81 school year came the concluding events. The warm weather was marked by the emergence of West's talented female softball players, who formed a team and went out to defeat other schools on the softball field. Outstanding athletes were honored at the Athletic Banquet, and students excelling in the fine arts were honored at the Fine Arts Banquet. The new N.H.S., Quill and Scroll, and Girls and Boys State members were also announced and honored for their achievements. The Spring Spirit Week was an opportunity for students to show their school spirit, especially Seniors, who didn't have much longer to attend West Valley. Finally school was over for the Class of 1981. They struggled through finals and wrapped things up a week before the underclassmen. Their week off was spent preparing for graduation and enjoying Senior gettogethers such as the Senior Trip. The grand finale of the year was graduation. The Class of 1981 graduated in style, and the 1980-81 year held fond memories for Seniors and underclassmen alike. After an enthusiastic game of softball on the Senior Trip, Kelly Wien, Laurel Orand, and Paige Wallace make clear the position of the Senior class. MEMORY FILE 209 SPRING BROUGHT LIFE AND VIT LITY BACK INTO THE SPIRIT OF WEST VALLEY Warmer temperatures, longer days, and melting snow were all signs of spring break-up. Break-up also marked the time to trade in skiis and boots for softball bats and gloves. The highlight of spring to many girls was the second annual all-region softball jamboree which took place in early May. Though softball got a late start, Coach Tarkiainen and Coach Marks still had a group of inspired girls participating. Because of the tremendous turnout, two teams were formed, West and the Wolfpack. Both teams were well-qualified as they were ranked at the top of the tournament. While spring dazzled many spirits, it truly livened up West softballers as they enjoyed a form of America's favorite past time.

West Valley dominated much of the elections there, top honors went to Matti Colonell and Paige Wallace who were elected as Governers of Girls' and Boys' State. Their week was highlighted by guest speakers Terry Miller, Clark Gruening, and Frank Murkowski. Although 3 scholarships were awardeq most of the students funded their own way to Close Up. Their busy week at th nation's capitol consisted of seminars wi guest speakers, who were left Hstupefie after the Questions and Answers period. Perhaps the most exciting events of tl' week occured during the tours of Capito Hill, with all its breathtaking monuments. like the Lincoln Memorial. On a bus tour they drove past the door of the Washington Hilton, where President Reagan was shot. A luncheon seminar with Congressmar Don Young provided an opportunity to discuss key issues involving Alaska.

The story of the West Valley Athletic Awards Banquet is not the story of West Athletics itself, but of the fine season that West Valley had in nearly every Varsity sport. West teams had an unprecedented fourteen region championships: Boys and Girls Cross-Country Running, Cross- Country Skiing, Swimming, and Track, Volleyball, Hockey, Wrestling, Rifle Team and Boys Basketball. One of these loyal athletes, Lori Meier, was given West Valley's biggest athletic honor. She was selected as the Athlete of the Year. Lori competed in three Varity sports: Volleyball, Girls Basketball, and Track. She was all-Region in both Volleyball and Basketball. The banquet was held at the Travelers lnn and the meal that preceded the awards presentation was delicious. As they had all season, West Valley fans supported their teams and the enormous room was packed. West Valley recorded its most successful season ever and the most successful in Region Six history. We are proud to say that 1981 was a tribute to the fine athletes of West Valley. SPORTS BANQUET 217 ACADEMIC HONORS WERE RE- COGNIZED THROUGH N.H.S.

P many students suffering from this ailmei the opportunity to get outside was a much cherished one, and on May 8, 19 students received their opportunity. Afti weeks of preparation the West Valley Aurora staff put all their efforts togethr and produced their first annual parking dance, held in the teacher's parking lot. Students from the entire school district were invited, and many came. There we also booths at the dance sponsored by various groups which served milkshakes and hamburgers. Perhaps the most memorable event a the dance was the helicopter landing in which several Lathrop student body members from the Senior class made th presence known. For a change in pace, there were two types of music: in one corner of the parking lot there was a D.J., and in the other there was a live band. With good weather, a lively atmosphere, a variety of music, and lots of people, the first annual parking lot dance was truly one of the great successes of the year. ?11n.i.ii'.?.Z'?E,f'I2L'.?.L'? c 'f' '1 'W a' AN EVENT ENJOYABLE FOR LL INVOLVED WAS WEST'S At the sunny parking lot dance a gazing Julie Fate models 1980 yearbooks. 220 PARKING LOT DANCE REGIONAL PARKING LOT DANCE it ii Selling hotdogs with her charming smile ls Mrs. Wilbanks.

To channel West's student's abundant energy, Student Council planned a spirit week filled with exciting dress-up days for all students to enjoy. The days included Hat Day, Sports Day, Twins and Triplets Day, Come-As-You-Never-Would-Day, and Switch Day. Boys arrived at school in lovely dresses and girls mimicked the boys by wearing baseball caps and old sweatshirts. An added attraction was the Freshman dance. The freshmen dedicated their dance to the seniors with the theme entitled Remember 81. Many seniors received awards ranging from best smile to most likely to succeed. Spring was a welcomed sight after a long cold winter. The added activities provided by Student Council and the freshman class made the spring of 1981 more enjoyable than ever.

As they filed into the gymnasium the emotions varied from anticipation, joy, and pride to nostalgia and sadness. This was the last time the entire Class of '81 would be together, each one having their own plans for the future.
