We've got spiritg we've got might. Go, Hornets! FIGHT! 1 People get it all together by getting together at the 1971 Annual Signing Party. Frisbees flew. Pep rallies echoed. Bicycles zoomed. 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

There were statistics galore that tried y to captu re what Western was like in 1972, but it was indeed a difficult task. To really know Western,,one must go to the students. The Amici asked What is Western to you? Student replies were just as varied as the statistics. l ' Perkins In the dimly lit auditorium, faces in the crowd blur to become the student I body. ' g I , After another fine fire drill, students return to class in an orderly fashion. I actually learn something here. I ' I can't wait until I get out of this place! r All I can think about is Mr. Walters. It's a part of me. It stinks. I like the eople. It's the athletic program. It's rou h. . The bu5ding's nice. It's a whole world in its Own. I think it's sort of fun. Well, we've changed this year . . .for once. For 180 days a year the scene at 3:11 p.m. is essentially the same - students dash to their lockers, intent on leaving school behind as quickly as possible. 102d
