M as b as-f footloose and fancy free are the of the senior awards. The hint ot spring was in the air, and with summer approaching spring fever was rampant in the halls of West Valley. 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.

Chef William Rogers cooked steaks, baked potatoes, and baked beans. The meal was paradise. There was more than enough food for everyone. Many ate their way into immobilization. Many students took the opportunity to visit with people whom they might not see again after graduation. Reminicing the good times was a popular pastime of the day. It was a cheerful occasion capped off by a slide show that brought everyone closer together.
