NT Special events throughout the year added variety to school life and made the long winter bearable. 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.
