A SCHOOL WAS BORN . . . WESTERN 2 HIGH SCHOOL 3 FOREWORD With the dawn of the 1962-63 year, our school was born. A new tribe, the Western Warriors, began the trek along an untrod path. After only a few short months, students feel an affinity for one another, an unsurpassed loyalty to their school and faculty, and a determination to set and attain the highest standards in every phase of educational achievement at Western High School of Alamance County. This is the 1963 WE-HI-WA. Its pages bring you the beginning heartbeats and footsteps of a new tribe. May you find herein a true picture of this first dawn at Western High School. Visions and dreams On September 27, 1958, Alamance County citizens made a long step for- ward in education by approving a bond issue of six and one-half million dol- lars for school construction. This was the first step leading to the opening of Western High School on August 30, 1962. A decision to locate the school to serve Elon, Altamahaw Ossipee, and Pleasant Grove on the Kernodle property on highway 87 was made on June 1, 1960. Following numerous delays and postponements, contracts for the building were let in the early summer of 1961 and construction began.

DIRECTOR Mr. Lacy Fogleman BAND Members of the band are as follows: Jimmy Kistler, Mike Hudson, Tommy Garrison, Marshall Zimmerman, L. B. Huffines, Elizabeth Barber, Sandra Schmidt, Doris Barnes, Judy Lynch, Faye Shore, Mary Harrington, Havaline Troxler, Theron White, Glenn Garrison, Leon Setzer, Mike Newsome, Mrs. Beverly Newman, Jerry Lewis, David Scott, and Virginia Perkins. The Western High School Band, under the direction of Mrs. Beverly Newman, has achieved considerable success during its first year. The band has added much to the enthusiasm of many of our basketball games, and is planning for a marching band in the near future. 85 The purpose of any vocational training exper- ience, in brief, is to assist individuals in their pre- paration for employment. Thus, the selection of a field of work for training is an important decision and should be made on the basis of careful study and guidance. Enrollment in the Industrial Coopera- tive Training program is limited to those students who have reasonable vocational objectives for which the program can provide worthwhile assistance. The Vocational Industrial Cooperative is an out- growth of students enrolled in the Industrial Co- operative Training program and is a very active group at Western High School. V.I.C.
