Lindley Guilford residents grow accustomed to a familiar sight from Friendship Airport. Guilford College began in 1837 as New Garden Friends Boarding School and has grown into a co-educational college of over one thousand students. The New Garden Friends Meeting bought fifty acres of land in 1757 for a church from Richard Williams, an early Quaker settler, for five shil- lings. In 1837 fifty students enter- ed the New Garden Boarding school, built near this land in the middle of a few scattered farms. Being the best school in the area, it attracted many students and also more fam- ilies. Today this school is known as Guilford College and is surrounded by many new homes and apartments, a huge airport, a new high school, various businesses and in- dustries, an interstate highway, and a continually expanding shopping center. T is progress demonstrates the remarkable changes that have occurred in our com- munity since 1757. vs. Guilford College: A Changing Communit Perkins Old fire station is replaced by a modernized one to better protect a growing community.

But with the installation of a Principal's Cabinet, with the leadership of Mr. Walters and Roy Wieselquist, and with the cooperation of the students, things began to sha e up. There was still student apathy, but there was also concern as students became involved in being them- selves - individuals working toward common goals.

After several meetings of the newly-appointed Principal's Cabinet, the matter was brought before the students in an open assembly. This first such assembly gave students a chance to speak out. Final decisions con- cerning Homecoming were a composite of student views, both spoken and obtained from uestionnaires. Student opinion was against the usual parade, so there was none. Nor was there a school spirit float. Instead, each class chose its role in the Home- coming activities. The Sophomores and Fresh- men built stationary floats.

Walters, principal, had the responsibility of keep- ing the sc ool in order and seeing that the best educa- tiona opportunities were of- fered to the students. He was aided in these duties by Mr. Ed Carroll, assistant rincipal. Also, the ControlpCenter could not have functioned without the secretaries. Mrs. Norman kept the records of school money. Mrs. Beck, who resigned in November, work- ed mainly with student rec- ords, phone calls, and mes- sages. Mrs. Styles was her re- placement.

ADMINISTRATION Western Guilford recogniz- ed the educational value of student cooperation and leadershi .The administration and faculty delegated to the student groups the supervision and control of certain affairs. Two such groups were the Inter-Club Council, composed of Presidents of all school clubs, and the Principal's Cab- inet, made up of students selected by Mr. Walters. These clubs were basically formed to solve problems that may arise in the school. Some of the problems worked on were the selection of home- coming attendents, and thiev- ery' and vandalism in the sc ool. Thus, both groups operated on the premise of trying to represent student and faculty views in dealing with school problems.

Students donated food and clothin which the Student Counci? distributed to four families in the Guilford area at Christmas. The Council completely restocked and expanded the School Store, adding such new items as Flair pens, protractors, and selected required-read- ing paperback books. The Council also published about 700 copies eac of a Stu- dent Handbook and a Student Directory. These were distrib- uted to the students free of charge. A new project was the Stu- dent Park. Daniel Horner drew elaborate plans for the project, this aided greatly in getting the park approved. The park became a reality with brightly painted picnic tables, grassy slopes, trash STUDENT COUNCIL cans, and tire swings in spite of some student apathy. The Council showed its concern for the Senior Citi- zens of the community by providing them lfupon re- questl with free admission to all school activities. The Student Council also helped put more spirit and en- thusiasm into the pep rallies. Under Roy's leadership, the pep rallies became more than just a spectator sport. Thus, the Student Council served both students and members of the community. ln so doing, the Council pro- vided an example of good service for all Western stu- dents.

One of their first projects was selling programs durin the football and basketbag ames. These pro rams were Pull of little goodies about the layers and the team as a wholye. With the money raised from selling these programs, a spotlight was bought for the gym. The Key Club also challeng- ed the men's faculty to a duel on the basketball court. But the faculty won by a few measly points. A community project the club undertook was landscap- ing the newfire house.

Governor's School was held on the campus of Salem Col- Lindley lege, with approximately 370 students attending. ln between the weekly con- certs, guest speakers, and daily classes, students found time to explore new ideas and make new friends.

Beginning Lindley Hurry up and take the picture, Bobb ! mutters Beth Carroll smihngly through clenched teeth. Beth's ability to keep smil- inig even in the face of great a versities was one charac- teristic that made her eligible for the DAR award. This award is given by the Daughters of the American Revolution to a member of the Senior Class who exhibits the traits of good citizenship. Beth was chosen for this honor by the collaboration of the faculty and her fellow classmates because of her responsibility, scholastic abil- ity, and service to the school. AWARDS Something Old- Something New- M l Students had a diverse choice of elective courses in Social Studies, except for ju- niors who had to take U.S. History. Family Living, offered as a Social Studies elective, dealt mainly with the individual teen, his problems, friends, and dating habits. To top .it all, Mr. Battle, a male bache- lor, taught the class. Men's Lib? American Cultures, another Social Studies elective, was also taught by Mr. Battle. tHe gets around!! The class studied minority groups, their history and culture. Feelings some- times proved to be biased, but through open discussion and debates, issues were set- tled fairly. World Geography was main- ly concerned with man - his culture, economics, and en- vironment. Late nights of studying and cramming for tests, along with preparin maps and debates - Worlg Cieograph became one more Social Stucly. World History came to be as shocking as the events that made it. A switch in teachers after first semester, made a confusing class more confus- ing. Current events, note- ta ing, short reports, and speakers combined to make World History. U.S. History was entered with mixed feelings. Not quite knowing what to expect Kaf- ter hearing all the wild rumors from the Seniors! luniors soon developed their own attitudes. With a variation of work days , library days , and two student teachers tone of whom gave up the profession! along with Mr. Robinson's Lokes, an atrocious diet of airy bologna sandwiches and Pepsi, U.S. History will always be remembered.

Early summer found them without an advisor and the editor out of town. Fall came and new members had to be- come accustomed to yearbook jargxon. Winter faced them wit the bleak task of con- frontin 750 students with a new igea-a summer book. Things started clearing as prob- lems that had slowed pro- duction were solved and spring came around. Amici moved on. The trip from summer to summer was rourgh. Because everything aroun was chang- ing, so did the Amici. Peop e in the class changed, too. Workin so fast in one room in one hour helped everyone to see that compromising was, -in some cases, the best thing. Problems still came up--per- fection was by no means our goal. Publishing a book was our goal-we made it. And come to think of it, we almost hit perfection in the process.

AMICI STAFF Holmes Enlarging and developing pictures are only two of the jobs required of Britts Nicholson and Bob Montgomery as photographers. S Mrs. Sandra Smith surveys her world. She serves as Western's librarian and sponsor of the Photography Club. Photography Develops into a Business A new and very important club came into being this year -the photo raphy club. The club got off to a strong start with approximately twen- ty members. There were no regular meetings or projects, the club was mainly a con- venience title for a common interestgroup. Among our student body were many people who were interested in photography, and several of them were already quite good with a camera. And because these photog- raphers were students, they were more able to capture school life than were outside, professional photographers. At first there were many problems and mix-ups. The journalism classes had to work out a schedule with the pho- to raphers that was accurate, efgcient, and fast in order to get pictures made, processed, selected, and returned for use. Once such a system lor close to itl was established, PHOTOGRAPHY Holmes Bob Lindley washes newly developed pictures to insure sharp, clear photographs. the results were usually well- taken and well-developed pictures. The existence of the pho- tography club was largely due to Mrs. Sandra Smith. She pro- vided a dark room on the sec- ond level of the library and taught many students how to take and develop good pic- tures. Whenever there were prob- lems, frantic Amici staff mem- bers and photo raphers knew that Mrs. Smit? was always willing and able to help.

Conference rooms and stu- dy carrells provided an even guieter atmosphere for stu- ents to study. These places were at times taken for grant- ed and it took Mrs. Sandra Smith, the librarian, to set things straight: P Library assistants helped keep shelves and book fines in order. They also helped in guiding students to infor- mation they needed. The library was a place of many happenings. For some, it was a usual place and for others it was not.

Some Western students found this to be a fascinat- ing topic for discussion dur- ing the summer.,B put it seems that even Western has its own Summerhill.'? First period Humanities Class was the proud recip- ient of this honor. There was no one teacher in this class, rather, it gently led by Mrs. Bray.

All this preparation was done at his own speed. Topics for scrutiny in- cluded atheism, progressive schools, variations of re- ligious beliefs, art, heredity and environmental influ- ences on man, and the A- bomb. y The mid-term exam con- sisted of a series of dis- cussion questions. A grade was given according to the degree of individual thought expressed. Diverse? Quite right.

Third period chorus rew out of a group of restlessiids. They had proved to be too much to handle during study hall, so with the approval of Mr. Walters, they became a chorus class. It was rather doubtful, at first, as to whether this was a solution, but under Mrs. Hawk's guidance the class be- gan to make progress. It grad- ually turned into something similar to a group-therapy session. Mrs. Hawks had great rap- port with her students, and while sometimes they proved hard to handle, they did learn to sin . As one student de- scribes the experience, We learned to get along with each other. Fourth period chorus repre- sented a more widespread group of students - from freshmen all the way up to seniors! Having been organ- ized longer, they studied music in greater depth. A choral workshop at Guilford College gave them further in- sights to the world of music. Both classes partici ated in the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Assembly Pro- grams, not to mention the Graduation Ceremony. With Mrs. Hawks at our side, maybe within a few years, our choral department will be rated Number One. . f-,.,- f F ,'-'- . --' if - -f-', Montgomery Fourth period chorus, First row.'

SCIENCE Logarithms and Proofs For all students,mathematics was essential whether the stu- dent was going to further his education or just drop out of school. Students took math for such reasons as needing a good mathematical back- ground or simply enjoying the sub'ect. The math courses of West- ern were all varied, about as varied as the teachers and students themselves. They all, however, contained the many hours of working problems. These long hours were neces- sary since math rovides the basis for many other subjects. The General Math and Pre- Algebra courses consisted mainly of working problems Such as H'l.9742'l'7.3269: 9.3011 and 3x27:8'I. They also rovided the basic groundilvork for the other math courses. Mr. Hollifield and Miss Smith tried their hand at teaching these sub- jects this year. Algebra l was the students' first chance to work and rea- son with mathematical eqlua- tions. Algebra ll was simp y a tougher version of so ving m2-l- 2mn -l- n2 2 lm-l-nl2 type problems which the stu- ents met in Algebra I. Mrs. Hop er and Mrs. Solomon taught these courses for the third consecutive year. Students became aware of a new phase of math in Geom- etry.

The rogram was able to train studgents for future employment in the communi? bly finding part- time Lobs ort em, in addition to t eir regular classroom training.- The DE classes, under the guidance of Mr. Hunter, were designed to train both boys and girls for employment in any of several fields. The pro- gram enabled the students to secure jobs in such fields as wholesale and retail sales, restaurant work, and other diverse occupations. Features about the classes that the students particularly enjoyed were the fact that they left school at 12:12 and also the many field trips that the classes participated in. Thus, students in both the ICT and DE programs held many jobs in factories, hos- pitals, drug stores, and many other places throughout the community. This provided ex- cellent practical experience for the student to help him decide on a future career. .

In the classes headed by Mr. Thacker, the drafting student had to have a clear mind and a steady hand in order to develop his drafting skills. The Pre-Drafting student learned the basic principles of draftin g such as the proper procedgures, the use of instru- ments, and the basic lettering techniques. After mastering the basic course, students went on to the more advanced courses of Drafting I, Il, and III. In these courses the students learned more highly skilled tech- niques, such as drafting com- plete house blueprints, delicate instruments diagrams, and motor graphs. Thus, after two or three years of such training, the stu- dent had a sound background in draftin should he choose to follow tiis profession. ,c .-Q3 Mr. Thacker teaches by lecture and by his own work. DRAFTING 63 For many students, Mr. Frazier's first and second year shop classes provided basic training for future professions in industrial arts, for others, the class provided students with practical shop knowl- edge or everyday use. Both boys and girls attempt- ed projects in several of the industrial arts fields. In wood- working, they fashioned such objects as bookcases, jewel boxes and picnic tables for the school park. ln leatherwork, they made such items as wal- lets, moccasins, and belts. They also did work in metal and woodburning. Thus, the shop class offered more opportunities for stu- dents interested in the field of industrial arts, and allowed them to participate in various industrial activities. This was accomplished by the learn by doing process. Shop Develops Skills in lndustry .,,.-I' Working with shop students, Mr. Frazier shares his knowledge of the hand saw.

But the electronics field did not stop there. Under Mr. Plumley's guidance, the electronics classes provided a testing ground for America's future electronic geniuses. In addition to class lectures, both first and second year stu- dents gained much practical experience by repairin such objects as clocks, tape p ayers, toasters, televisions, and many other such appliances. In so doing, they used such devices as ohm meters, voltage regu- lators, signal generators, and oscillosco es. Thus, the first and second year electronics classes dem- onstrated the vast growth in the electronics fields from the days of Ben Franklin and the lightening and the key.

Field Trips, Food, and Fun -F.H.A. ln September, thirty-one Freshmen girls were initiated into the Future Homemakers of America. For their initiation the girls were iven a list of ways to Beauti?y themselves for the big day. After wearin their special attire to schooi the girls walked to the Ele- mentary School where they ran an obstacle course. In March, the club voted to give a 550.00 scholarship to Nan Ratledge. The money was sent to East Carolina Univer- sity. On May 11, 1972 the club held its annual Mother-Daugh- ter Banquet. They had a carry- in dinner and a fashion show as entertainment.

Little did tiey realize then the hassle that was in store. lf a student wishes to take Driver Education during the summer tusually from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.l, he must rearran e his vacation or job. If not, ie will end up taking thi? course after school in the a . After completing thirty hours of classroom training, listening to gruesome stories and watching films that feature talking gasoline drops, the stu- dent must settle back to wait for his turn behind the wheel. The eighteen hours on the road are excitin for most young drivers tangfor anyone else who happens to be on the road when they arell. Each student gets six hours of actual driving experience, while the remainder of the time is spent learning from others' mistakes. But finally the rushing, jug- gling, worryingi and waiting are over and t e student has his certificate Cin triplicatel in hand.

Bus Driving: A Difficult and Rewarding job The Bus Drivers were once again able to keep a perfect record with only a few bumps, bruises, and crashes. How would you like to take on a bus load of 75 scream ing, crying, yelling kids? Not too easy, huh? With about 41 bus drivers, 119 regulars, and 22 substitutesl Mr. Carroll, the fearless lead- er, had trouble keeping the time sheets straight. But with help of his private secre- tary, Lissa Smith, he made it through another year only slightly hysterical y. The Bus Drivers not only took kids to and from school, they also took the Elementary students to the Art Festival and to hear the Greensboro S mphony. They also carted cllasses on field trips every where from Chapel Hill to Winston Salem. Soon the drivers proved that buses weren't the only things they could drive - basketball held a close second, as on April 6, 1972, the Bus Drivers played the Faculty in a game of Donkey Basketball. It's funny, but the next day many were sitting on pillows on the bus seats-I wonder why Kneeling: Roger Miller, Steve Payne, Terry McEl- fresh, Bill Bunn, Terry Cal- Lissa Smith, Marsha Smith, and Mike Bergman enjoy a coke break with Mr. Carroll after a hard bus load.

Cheerleaders Show the Students That They Care O.K., this is our last cheer, so ya'll really yell! Students heard this many times at pep rallies as the cheerleaders tried to boost school spirit. Many times the cheerleaders stayed after school, practicing cheers for a big pep rally, but often they had to settle for two or three yells after an assembly pro- gram. Pep rallies were a part of cheerleadin that everyone saw. But there were other things the cheerleaders did that few people knew about. This year's cheerleaders put together football handbooks for the players, hel ed in con- cession stands, antllworked at West Market Esso Service to earn mone for the cheerlead- ing fund. This money was used to buy pennants, pom-poms, and monogramming. But cheerleading wasn't all work.

VARSITY CHEERLEADERS 77 ESTY. QXYLLY HRH Combined Forces Add to Halftime Entertainment Thinking, practicing and planning lead to playing, twirl ing and marchincg as the band, majorettes, an drill team entertained at many events. Some people seemed to think a sheet of music was given to a band member, a baton to a majorette, and a pattern of steps to the drill team - end of subject. But there had to be practice for each group as a separate team and for all as a unit. This made things a twelve month deal - not a nine month contract. Things began in the summer and continued on through the year. Beginning with the bon- fire, continuing on to the football field at halftime, go- ing next to marching in the HALFTIME Greensboro and High Point Christmas parades in one day, kept each member on his toes. The marching band had problems in sta ing in step on the field while keeping a con- stant rhythm. One wrong move and your head went in a tuba or a flute went down your throat. Year-round prac- tice made Mr. Spencer, the director, a very busy man. Majorettes went to summer camp and practically cleaned the place of their trophies by winning them. These were presented to Mr. Walters in a September assembly and look- ed quite nice in the trophy cabinet. Their talent thus con- firmed, the majorettes parti- cipated in halftimes at football ames and also played donkey Easketball in order to raise money for the stadium fund. The Drill Team initiated a change of pace as they re- named themselves the West- ernettes. The number of members was reduced from twenty,-five to ten, and rou- tines ecame even more pre- cise and well-timed. The team itself was much improved as the , too, worked on a great technique - togetherness. just as each group held its own individuality, the three groups also united themselves to represent our school. They all worked to ether to give us the best of their talents, and they succeeded excellently. Drill Team Below: Becky Hestwood, Head. Above: Vickie Evans, Asst. Head.

Hornets Begin Season With High Expectations Maness Both teams look on as Robert Kent and a Gibsonville opponent stage their own battle at the coliseum in our first conference clash. The Western Guilford Boys' Varsity Basketball Team started the season with high expecta- tions for a successful season. Returning from last year's team were two key starters, co-captains Robert Kent and lohnn Ralls. New to the schook were two outstandin transfers from Grimsley. Ads to that several fine players from the previous year's jay- vee squad and Western had a stroigig nucleus for an out- stan ingteam. The strong points of the team at the start of the season were its outstandin shooting ability and its quicEness. The weak oints were a lack of re- bounding power and erratic defensive efforts. ' The question that remained was whether individuals with the potential these had could put it all together as a team.

Although very impressive in the two opening victories, the Hornets first loss came against unbeaten Northwest, and was followed the next night b a loss to Ragsdale in the last seconds. Standing a mediocre 2-2, the Hornets clobbered their next five foes, including in this string a record-breaking T00 point win over Trinity. Everything was going great until the Hornets met Ragsdale again. Although favored to win, the sluggish Hornets were beaten by 22 points, the worst loss of the season. ln the coliseum, the Hornets played badly again and lost to Gibsonville. Then, the team traveled to Gibsonville's crackerbox, and was beaten as the defendin home team squeaked by with two extra points. continued on nextpage BASKETBALL 83 District Heartbreak FollOws Conference Victory continued from previous P389 With a record of 11-6, the Hornets dedicated themselves to eleven straight wins andthe state championship. They started out in strong fashion, destroying Allen jay with 108 points, breaking the earlier record set against Trinity. The squad then beat Stoneville and finished off the regular season with a revenge win over North- west. In the Conference tourn- ament, the Hornets beat the two strongest teams convincingly and became tournament champions for the seventh time in eight years. The District tournament saw Western vs. West Davidson - two of the strongest ZA teams in the statep both fresh from con- ference championships. Althought the Hornets managed to pull within six points in the last minutes of the game, Western's bid for the state cham ionship was ended almost before it had begun. What went wrong? Of- fensively the Hornets were over powering, but on occasions they were either out-hustled, out-rebound- ed or out-defensed. This might have been the year. Trinity missed winning the state cham- pionship by two points, and earlier Western had outclassed Trinit by 20 points. Yes, with a few reaks, this might have been the year. ww? ..i.t, . .

If the girls bas- ketball season had to be ex- plained, the word changes would explain it. The season began with Miss Lillian Smith as head coach. But because of her illness, the team experienced practices and games under various other people. Mrs. Hopper, Miss Tuttle tthe coach of the lr. High Girls' teaml, Miss Bondurant, and Mr. Robinson all got to try their hand at coaching the team. Later Mr. Hunter took over for the re- mainder of the season. Then near the end of the season Miss Smith returned, and she and Mr. Hunter coached the team together. Another change for the team was the new uniforms that came near the end of the season. The new uniforms made a bi difference to the girls and they appreciated all that Mr. Hunter and Mr. Wal- ters did to get them. As the season progressed the girls improved with every game, in the conference tour- nament they lost only to Gib- sonville, the tournament champs, in the semifinals. When the Girls' District V tournament was held at West- ern Guilford from February 22-25, several members of the team acted as hostesses. As hostesses the girls provided the teams with everything from towels and cups to ban- dages and tennis shoes. With the loss of four seniors, the coming of the eighth grad- ers, and a different coach, next year holds questions without answers and probably more changes.

Boys Basketball ' Team was under the leader- A zsfraa sii- :-f ship of Coach john Brooks. The team had six capable A starters. They were Mark Guenther, David Blust, Cliff Wakefield, Terry Billings, Terr McElfresh, and lerry Midkiftx The role of co-captains al- ternated amon these boys. As a result of keen competi- tion, turnovers plag1ued the team. However, t e team managed to compile a 9-8 recor . Several of the games were lost in the final seconds by only a few points. Due to the fact that this year's varsity team will be depleted by graduation, the l.V. team had to ready them- selves to fill the open positions. if Hestwood By leaping high to control the tap, Cliff Wakefield starts another game.

IV BOYS BASKETBALL 89 Wrestling: Endurance, Stamina, and Skill Sweating off excess pounds, learning new holds, and con- ditioning for tiring matches filled practices which primed wrestlers for the season. A grappler had to be in top mental and physical shape to wrestle in the arduous six- minute matches. Though strength was an asset, speed, skill, and endurance were the goals of ambitious wrestlers. The team suffered a very disappointing year as they compiled a 2-10 record. How- ever, our glrapplers were in many matc es right up until the end, seven matches were lost by nine points or less. With a few breaks it could have been an entirely different season. lnexperience was a major reason for the disappointing season. Nevertheless, many individuals such as David Wrenn, Greg Cook, Robert Martin, and David Messen- heimer turned in strong per- formances match after match. The season came to a sud- den end when a wrestler was found to be ineligible and the team was barred from further competition in the sectionals. Yet, no one could take away the year's accomplishments. ..

These were the sounds which were heard at golf prac- tices which primed the golf team for their 8-1 season, sec- ond lace finish in the sec- tionalpsi, and finishing among the top twenty in the state tournament. The golf team clearly domi- nated the conference olf scene as none of the matcgwes were really close. The only loss came against a strong 4A power, High Point Andrews. Many individuals on the seven man team turned in strong1 performances. Greg Frenc , who had the low stroke average, compiled rounds close to par match after match. He was comple- mented b the strong play of Grant Waifers, Chipper Cecil, jeff French, john Haley, and Arthur jordan. All of these team members had good rounds in more than one match and they all contributed to the team's outstanding year. The team en'oyed a reward- ing year and the prospects for next ear seems just as good as only two people will be lost to graduation. The team should, as Coach Hollifield says, beat the bi bo s next year just as they Eid this year. Baseball Team Comes Across Every once in a while you'll run across one of those dark horse teams in a conference. ln baseball the Black Hor- nets got off to a slow 1-4 start. Realizing that the first con- ference game was only one week away, the team then picked up steam and overran Bethany 4-0 and 17-3. -March 30 came and Western squeezed by Southern for a conference win. From then on the team played heads-u baseball and sailed past the other conference teams ex- cept Gibsonville, who won 3-2. Revenge was sweet when Western beat Gibsonville three and a half weeks later 4-1 in an exciting night game. Winning the conference with an 8-1 record, Western looked forward to state com- petition. Their hopes for vic- tory were shattered, however, when Mt. Pleasant took a feeble win 1-0. All in all, it was an outstand- ing season with five Western players chosen All-Confer- ence. These were johnny Ralls, lohn Lojko, Greg French, jerry Midkiff, and Steve Dunlap.

The oun er members of the team' 8 kearned quickly and were al- ways there when needed. Ray Coble literally ran away with the hurdles as he set two school records: the 180 low hurdles in 21.1 seconds and the 120 highs in 15.5. Robert Kent improved on his form and high-jumped 6'4 , johnny Ralls long- jumped 21'7V4 . Roy Fitzgerald remained the master miler with a time of 4:33.6. Donald Patterson ran the 880 in 2:08.5 while Charles Powell sweated out the two- mile in 10:37.5. With all of the above mea- surements being school rec- ords, Western easily won the conference and placed well in the city-county and sectional meets.

The officers for the club were: Roger Miller, President, john Blust, Vice President, and Wayne Davidson, Secretary- Treasurer. The members sold birthday calendars to the Guilford Col- lege community and ran the concession stands during the football and basketballdgames. These pro'ects helpe raise money to buy the WG jackets for the senior members of the club. To letter in a varsity sport each boy must meet the fol- lowing qualifications: in foot- ball, a boy must play 12 quar- ters his junior year, in basket- ball, a boy must play 16 quarters his junior year, in baseball, he must play in four games, in track, he must par- ticipate in four meets, in golf, he must participate in our matches, in wrestling, he must participate in three matches, and a manager must be a manager in his junior year. .ff' K -M j VM rr if' Y s is Above: Coach Jones, one of the club sponsors, enjoys one of his favorite pastimes.

The Park took shape. Students and teachers came closer together. And all the while, the music of harmonicas drifted up and down the halls. A utopia? Not hardly. This was Western Guilford in 1971- 1972. It was definitely a dif- ferent year thanks to you, the students. Each one of you had a part in making Western what it was. You took what had once been a stilted and superficial school and changed it into a relaxed atmosphere for learning and friendship. How was this accomplished? You looked,and you accepted. You accepted other people for what they were and for what they wanted to be. You did it. You succeeded in broadening your world. And when you changed, the school changed - for you were the school. lt is for this reason that the Amici is dedicated to the students. It is a book for the overall crowd as well as for each individual face in the crowd. It has to be. For you see, the Amici is you. Pep rallies become spirited as students on either side of the gym try to out-yell the other side. DEDICATION 103 ,ww gb If W,,,L., Za J iz, i,L W, ,,,, , .,,. A 'l 1357?

Expresses Itself in Freshman Faces When the eighth grade moved to the elementary school, the class of '75 became the low man on the totem pole for the second year in a row. This did not stop them, however, from being a major participant in school activities. The Freshmen won first place on their Homecoming float, sold magazines to raise money for the Stadium Fund, and participated in j.V. sports. Girls ventured into Home Ec. and both boys and girls lived through their last year of Phys. Ed. Freshmen looked forward to becoming a real part of Senior High - next year.

E1 E FRESHMEN 'l'l'l Sophomore Mood Reflects Carefree Life The sophomore year? I think it's been the great- est year yet. It's routine. My mind's blank. Generally, the sophomore year was a good one. Some sophomores felt involved and a art of high school life. Others were undecided and waited for events that would give the year meaning and value. The rest didn't really think of the year. The year was fired with strong emotion, yet flooded b long waves of indifference. The days witnessed periods when ideas and knowledge were ever resent and when the mind kinew only blank- ness. lt was up to the individual to sort things out. s M ' , f we . . .c Perkins Carla Fleenor, Treas.g Laura Huffine, Sec.g Terry Billings, V.

The sophomore, an official high school student, seemed at times to have a life muddled with drastic limits. His thoughts crept toward being a junior as he waited for events. Through the waiting, somewhere he found answers to his questions. He became a part of Western. Classes appeared confusing and sometimes boring as giant vocabulary words and scien- tific terms cluttered his note- book. Yet, with all the mix- ups, the classes still worked out. The sophomore seemed constantly caught in the mid- dle. Too oung to drive, he was often limited to his house, his bus route, the school, and the places he reached by foot or by phone. All these situa- tions brought him to his own world.

With the ending of summer, once-Sophomores became jumbled, slightly excited lu- niors. Many feelings and opinions changed. Sometimes juniors demon- strated a care-free attitude, by riding bikes to school, throwing frisbies, and playing kazoos. Other juniors took a more serious approach to the year and spent their time planning for college and working at jobs. Special events such as Homecoming, ordering and receiving class rings, and planning for the junior-Senior marked off the year. But from the beginning of the year to the end emerged a growing feeling in the minds of many juniors -the obses- sion of only one more year after this one .

In fact, comments made at the beginning were mainly, I still feel like a ju- nior. Then, somewhere along the way, it happened. Seniors became Seniors. Applying for college, looking for jobs, and preparing for graduation be- came the initial things to be done. Constant looking through college catalogues, sending in applications for admission and suffering through numerous shots in order to pass the medical re- quirements of a college kept Seniors busy. Acceptance made it worth the time, but the lonely feel- ing of rejection made it some- times seem hopeless. There were winners and there were losers - the hardships of a world outside had already begun to show themselves. job Profiles were done in all English IV classes. This task consisted of filling out forms and answering personal ques- tions to get a etter view of oneself and a career that was best suited for the person. Graduation was no longer a dream but had become a not- so-far away reality. The class of '72 made their own out- standing gesture by choosing gold caps and gowns. But, that was where the ex- citement for Seniors stopped. For some, the idea of leaving was no big thin . For others, the reality ofg raduation shook them a littee as they realized that high school was over. They knew they'd never have life so easy again. They may have even thought of when it all started - back in the good ole' days - and wondered how long it would be before their Senior year became a part of that old cliche.

This year they caught up with her in English IV. Mrs. Lancaster was also the Senior Class sponsor. This made meetings difficult, but with the help of Mr. Walters, The Project got underway. A bake sale and a car wash were followed by the Woman- less Beauty Pageant tS500 worthl and Spring Fling activities. So on the night of gradua- tion, Mrs. Lancaster was pre- sented with S775 in an envelope that contained all of the lo-ve and respect the Senior Class had for her.

It was hard to keep in step when you felt like dancing, but finall you made it to the crush of the commons area. Hugging was the order of the evening - it didn't really matter with whom. Laughter, tears, shouts, and sighs: feelings flowed freely as friends found each other. There were still congratu- lations to accept and deliver, but already thoughts were beginning to move ahead - the party afterwards, and the Beach later on tonight. In oth- er words, now came the time to CELEBRATE.

You can revisit the days when Western was the focus of your world, however, by picking up your 1972 Amici. We've tried to make it as per- fect and as complete a record as possible. I'd like to take this op- portunit to thank all those who hadla art in putting this book together. It took many long hours and help from several different quarters. Most of all, however, I'd like to thank the staff. They WORKED for this book. And it was their talents and im- agination that made the 1972 Amici materialize. Eve
