Upon entering our first grade classroom, a feeling of smallness overcame us, but eagerness was very much a part of us, living within us. The playground was enormous, the principal, a giant. - ?' 5 fri, fl! .315 , 1. ,' 111: ' 1 le 1 ,N , , 1 1 ' 1 2 Likmg Play hours at Westwood, Western Heights, and Mossville Elementary schools were filled withjump the river, jump rope, and hopscotch. Remember the birthday parties and kiss chase? Recall the day when we were so excited because we had finally learned to spell and actually write out our names? Remember rushing home to tell Mom and Dad we could finally check out our first Library book? Special activities included Christmas plays and school Carnivals. We were eager to explore the carnival and to take a hay ride. We experienced nervous stomachs as we made our first appearance on stage. Top left: Mrs. Kelley reads as Dan Duncan looks with interest.

By the time we were fifth graders we were bold enough to venture into the spook house at the Halloween Carnival and more confident about our lines on stage. We had dreams of being fire- men, cowboys, nurses and mamas. As we entered Arnett and Mossville Jr. High we were caught between two worlds. Junior High is the bridge between elementary and high school. It was a time when we were too young for most of the things we would have enjoyed doing and too old for the child-like fun and games. We were so eager to achieve freedom, although we werenlt willing to accept responsibility.

As ninth graders, our experiences were much like first grade. Everything was huge, strange, and new to us. We were eager to be a part of the band marching on the field, football, basketball, track, cheerleading, Ramettes, homecoming, and all of the organizations which interested us and gave us the will to want to get involved. Now it's the Homecoming Dance and the Junior- Senior prom. They all hold a thrill, but not quite as exciting as our first dance back in Junior High. 3 It is now time to put our bicycle to rest and ask for car keys. It is fun to take out our second and third grade picture to see a missing tooth, and then to compare it to a matured face in a cap and gown. It isn't easy to look at ourselves and realize that itis really the same face with only a ten year difference. Now that we are in high school we are studying typing, shorthand, book- keeping, welding and auto mechanics to prepare for a trade or a job. We study physics, chemistry, and English in order to further our education. lil Sherman Hooper is geared up and ready to show his skill in welding. Beth Parker in first grade. High Eugene Lewis xx.

X l Q! t Mrs. Mattie Jones, with her bright cheery smile, is a familiar sight in the halls of Westlake High School. Mrs. Mattie Jones Mrs. Jones wears her fanciest to celebrate Hat Dayl' during the 1978 Homecoming Week. Mrs. Mattie M. Conley Jones was born in Lincoln Parish, Vienna, Louisiana. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. Albert B Conley, Sr. i Mrs. Jones was married on October 9, 1970 to Leonard Jones, Jr. and has one stepson. Mrs. Jones is a graduate of Grambling High School. She earned her B. S. degree from Grambling State University in 1962. After teaching six years in other schools, Mrs. Jones came to Westlake High School in August of 1969. Singing, cooking and dancing are a few of Mrs. Jones, hobbies. The annual staff is proud to dedicate this edition of the Ram-ler to Mrs. Mattie Jones. Congratulations!!! J 9 ---f.sl.-afaPifnS I Our high school years were a time when we sampled life. During the summer we played, worked, relaxed, and grasped whatever we could from our vacation to make the past nine months' work worthwhile and to prepare for the next school year. School opened and we began to sample the student's life again. Each year is similar to the previous one and yet each has its own flavor. Electives were sam- pled as part of the academic life. Some of us drifted into welding and auto mechanics while others experimented with cooking and sewing in home economic classes. The extra-curricular activ- ities offered us another side of life. Many students became involved in chorus, band and Rammettes. Clubs offered us the opportunity to sample different careers or hobbies. Sampling sports was a big part of our lives. Some played football, some, basketball or tennis. Those of us who didnit join a team became a part of the Spirit Committee. We yelled at pep rallies, attended games, put up signs, and did all we could to support our teams. The night life did not end with the games. We were eager to see how many houses we could roll and how late we could sneak in without getting caught. On the weekends we danced at The Keg, or The Fine Fox. We went out to eat, to the movies, skating, skiing, boating, shopping, hunting and Hshing. All in all, work and play were very much a part of our sampling life at Westlake High School. .7 WHS Plays the Datmg Game Arm in arm hand in hand This Was not an unusual scene at WHS Although many of our students dated students from other schools some of us preferred to date persons we could be near every a ascii?

There were long vests, short vests, long shirts under short vests and long vests over short shirts. Every girl had at least one vest hidden in her closet. Guys got into the act with vests that were part of three-piece suits. Some vests made an outfit dressy. A short vest over a long shirt created a casual outfit. Vests were worn over shirts, dresses, sweaters, and other vests. The art of layering reached its peak with the advent of the vest. We loved it! We Wore it!

S , lll gl 0000000000000 l 1 There were different types of fashion worn here at Westlake, but one thing was agreed on. If one wasn't dressed nicely or neatly he or she wasn't noticed. A tremendous amount of money was spent on clothes. Prac- tically every weekend we went shopping for a new dress or slacks to wear on Monday. Straight leggedjeans were very popular when worn with spiked heals. Big tops, Vests, neck ties, and flared skirts were fashionable and fashion made the man or woman at W. H. S.

From bagging groceries to working in a drug store, We made enough money to get by. Many continued to work after school started. A number of seniors who were involved in the C. H. E. and C. O. E. programs went to school half a day and worked half a day. Working gave us an insight as to what our future life would be like, for after high school a decision must be made that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. We can choose to continue our education or to go to work. Eventually, the majority of us will have some occupation.

Nevertheless, fun in the sun filled 055 Crunch Crunch We ate pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, bar-b-cue, candy bars, potato chips . . .you name it,we ate it. We ate at Don's, Dupls, and McCoy's. We even dressed up and went to Lake Charles and ate at the area's finest restaurants. We ate pizzas with the gang after a game and hamburgers with our date. We ate hot lunches in the school cafeteria. We sneaked candy bars and Cokes when We felt we were too busy to stop for a meal. But stop we did and Mom's rice and gravy never tasted better. Many of us shuddered when we heard the home ec. teacher say HYou are what you eat.

The band practiced in the band room and on the field. The football team practiced on the field and the basketball team practiced on the court. Students practiced typing, shorthand, and exercises. We practiced writing in the English class and speaking in speech class. The end result of all of this practice was a student body that played and worked well. Often we felt that school was practice for the life that would take place after we graduated.

Hobbies filled many hours for some. Sandra Kelley, a sophomore, enjoys painting because it is fun and Mitis an achievement of my ovvnf' she says. Sandra says that she may make a career of this hobby. If not, she plans to teach lessons or to sell paintings. Sandra recommends painting in that it gives one a sense of self achievement. Brenda Thornton who is a senior, enjoys horseback riding. She and Linda participated in rodeos. They love animals and as long as they can remember horseback riding has been a part of their lives. They recommend this hobby because they feel that everyone would enjoy it. Kevin Verrette, Gary McFarland and Renee Davidson play the guitar. These students enjoy music and feel that playing the guitar is a very interesting and fun way to spend their time. They recommend their hobby to anyone because they feel that it is interesting and fun. Tony Sessions a senior at Westlake, collects albums. Tony, a new student, is probably the only one at WHS who has such a large number of albums. Tony says that he is constantly listening to his collection and enjoys his hobby greatly. Erich Schatzle, a senior, enjoys flying fthat is in an airplanej. lt,s challenging, and exciting and Ilove itll, says Erich. Erich became interested in flying through orientation flights. He received a solo scholarship in Civil Air Patrol. Erich plans to make his hobby a career in the Air Force either as a pilot or navigator. He recommends his hobby to others if they are willing to work hard, to concentrate and to study. We worked. Yes, worked our hobbies right in with school. SGHARG CHLDRE.- 'W 'QF sf W x 2 we l v 1 ' F rv Q ,f K nf' Our lives were guided by signs. Signs told us to enter or to exit. Spirit signs filled the halls. Signs in town told us what houses were for sale. Signs told us where buses unloaded and loaded. Signs on doors told us whose room we were entering. Stop and yield signs governed the traffic tlow around school. Not all the signs in our lives were as visible as these. However, we learn to read, follow, and, ultimately, to appreciate the signs in our lives. 17 CHOOL ROUN NOT ON THE R01 .pp-wg Time Marches On . . . fftxx Lm.. gm ' 4 , ' I Q, i .., Time plays a big part in our lives at Westlake High School. It flies during the summer and begins to drag about March, especially for the seniors. Often time is something we must find-time to do homework, time to make banners and posters for the spirit committee, time to practice cheers, a speech, typing, marching, football, basketball, tennis-the list goes on and on. When the end ofa school year arrives, we hope we've used our time wisely for we realize that time is precious. We learn to use it, to plan it,i to anticipate it and sometimes, to regret its passing. One fact we learn early in life is that time spent never returns. ea FIRS T E and Lo an Association Boys And Girls State Girls and Boys State is de- fined as learning politics through participation. To be considered for girls or boys state, one must have sent in a resume' to the American Legion Ladies' Auxiliary. A day at girls or boys state: 6:45 a.m.-had to be in your squad or city and march to breakfast which lasted until 8:00, 8:00-12:00 noon-elect city, parish, or state officials, 12:00 noon-1:00 p.m.-700 people were fed lunch, 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.-work on city and parish project, 5:00 p.m.g6:00 p.m.gsupper, 6:00 p.m.-12:00 midnight-state or parish party elec tions, ' After 12:00-work on projects assigned to do in free time, Bed-on average of 3:00 a.m. Boys State had more benefits with a band fin which Stuau't Landry participatedj, and two hours of sports each day. Boys State Band played for Girls State on the last day. The biggest and most exciting event of the week was the Boys and Girls State Dance since the opposite scx were not allowed to see each other all week long. Everyone at Boys and Girls State learned team work and pride in himself fhersclfj as well as their fellow citizens. Throughout the week everyone grew close as the pressure in- creased and tears were shed by both boys and girls as their eight days ended. Attending Boys State were Stuart Landry, Gary Fontea not, and Mike Cochran. Attending Girls State were Jane ' McManus and Melinda Koonce.

Stu- dents spent much of their time rapping with friends in the halls, in the classroom, and at the lunch table. Between classes, students stood around and gossiped. Students talked with teachers too. They talked about classes, books, and ideas. We shared dreams and fears. Telephones tied us to our friends after school. Hours were spent lying on the bed, phone glued to our ear and talking, talking, talking. V sr. ' in -i . Y'-QE? 'igkfgiiwfi A 5 iii?

The queen's bouquet was presented to her by Miss Janette Staford who was the queen the previous year. Homecoming each year is a very exciting time. It is a lot of work for students and faculty, but most rewarding when the day comes and it all works out to be as good as, or better, than the year before. I have helped with plans and activities for many years, but mainly with the young ladies on the court. Helping them get their part in the parade, and the other ceremonies is always work, but fun. In the past We used floats for our parade, but we changed to sports cars for the girls several years ago. This year we went back to the float, and it is a lot more work, but I think we and the community enjoyed seeing all the girls in a group. I have worked with Homecoming for about the past 20 of the 26 years I have been here and each year they seem to be better, and the young ladies get prettier. Mrs. Crick Malveaux fb, ' - f ,.,1, 1.

Although the price of seeing a movie steeped to 53.00 per individual, this didn't discourage the majority of us. In fact, if one lwas to go to see a movie he would probably see a number of stu- idents from Westlake. Of course those which were rated 'R' were number one on the list of most of us, but this doesnit mean that we didn't go to see movies which were rated 'PG', it only means that they .were second best. It was a great year and we have a number of great movies to remember it by. 11272253 iifL:ii1liLzla zfsswgjgfrggk ei R ' rj fif l 'ill Ser PEPPEQ mf rtoustv stains be-MGLUB BAN!

The cheerleaders and Spirit Committee members worked together to decorate automobiles, halls, and the stu- dents' lockers. The Ram Band and Ramettes showed their pride and spirit by marching in parades and festivals. Visitors saw our spirit when they visited our school and saw the banners and streamers that decorated the halls and lobby. An inner feeling of spirit filled students also. We took pride in telling others we were from Westlake High School. We competed in athletic and scholastic competitions. We did our best and felt pride when the results were announced. School spirit and school pride went hand in hand to create a great year for us.

Being involved in a club activity made school more interesting. Students who were elected as officers gained a valuable experi- ence in how to hold and partici- pate in meetings and how to control a group of people. We learned a great deal by joining different clubs and having to follow through with different projects.

M. We had a short meeting and then we loaded the fine Greyhound buses. The convoy left Westlake around 6:30 bound for Gulfport, Mississippi. Around 10:30 we reached Fairview Riverside State Park near Madisonville, Louisiana. We had a leisurely lunch and enjoyed the park's beautiful lake and towering oak trees. After lunch we went through the show in the park one last time, on a make shift field full of trees and bushes. This year, as an added touch, our ram manager, Mike Hardy, agreed to bring the band's mascot Bandit along to stalk the sidelines while the band performed at Milner Stadium. The band arrived at the hotel around 2:00. We unloaded, got dressed, warmed up and were back on the buses headed for Gulfport at 3:15. We performed at 4:05 p.m. We watched the other bands perform and at 8:15 saw the Gulfport Band perform. The j udges started announcing the ratings at 10:30. The suspense was terrible. Some bands made 3's QFairJ and even 4's CPoorj. The Ram band was called to attention while the judges read our rating. Then Mr. Harrell gave the signal to go wild and we did! The band, flags, rifles, and drum major, Stuart Landry, received superior ratings. The Black Watch Drum Corps earned an excellent rating. This was the band's fifth year to compete in the annual Festival and our fourth year in a row to achieve superior ratings. The band received the rating through the unanimous decision of three judges. The band is judged on precision, style, showmanship, discipline, show ideas, execution, and special routines. We returned to the hotel around 11:30 a very tired but excited band. We ate, had parties and a few,people got thrown into the pool that, incidentally, closed at 10:00 p.m. Sunday morning between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., while our Ram Manager, Mike Hardy, got some sleep, O. R. P.'s COfficial Ram Protectorsj watched Bandit. The O. R. P.'s elected by the band were Andy Buller, Bruce Chamberlain, Kim Cain, Joe Buller, and David Query. Thanks, Guys, and a special thanks to Mike and Bandit. You went through a lot for us. Sunday morning the first thing on the agenda was the Sulphur band vs. Westlake band football game. The game was originally scheduled for 6:30 a.m. but got started around 8:00 a.m. when Sulphur band members finally made it out on the beach. Everyone did their own thing since we didn't have to load buses until 1 p.m. Some people attended mass at 8:00 a.m. at a local Catholic Church and Protestants had service on the beach at 10:00 a.m. After that there were many things to do. People walked on the beach, swam in the hotel pool for got thrown inj, or attended the Beach Arcade and Fair. The souvenir shops and T-shirt places were also doing good business. For the more history-minded people there was the Biloxi Lighthouse fbuilt in 18485 and the Jefferson Davis Memorial Home. Jefferson Davis fConf. Pres. 1861-l865j spent the last twelve years of his life in Beauvoir that is French for Beautiful View which it was. The tour includes his home personal library and grounds which include nature trails and a lagoon. How ever our Sunday was spent it was all fun and the entire trip was a success. We had a short meeting and loaded the buses at l p.m. We headed for home shortly after 1 p.m. Around 3:45 we stopped in the famous Sherwood Forest McDonald's in Baton Rouge. We arrived in Westlake at 6:30 to a very happy town of Westlake.

JV Cheerleaders Ramette Honor Guard during pre-game activities. 3 SIOP giggling, Pam, Brenda will get if 2111 f0g9Th9f! Drums Work hard during summer practice. To become a Ramette, one must go through a short period of training. This training period is for the purpose of seeing whether or not someone is capable of enduring discipline and marching. This period of training is usually about two weeks long. During this time, the girls are taught whistle commands, oral commands, and marching techniques. One basic requirement in becoming a Ramette is that the girl maintain a 2.0 grade average. The most important requirement is to have pride in herself and in her school. Ramettes show spirit at a pep rally. is Cheerleaders Wait at the Break through The activities that the Ramettes are involved include participating in football games, march- ing in parades, sponsor- ing the Christmas formal, and taking charge of the conces- sion stand at basketball games. The two main activities that they focus on are the Christmas formal and the Natchitoches Christmas Parade. On April 24, 1978, eight girls realized that they would be representing Westlake as varsity cheer- leaders the 1978-79 school year. Half of these eight fnew cheerleadersj were not aware of what they would be up against. Many things must take place before one is to see these girls at football games, bas- ketball games, pep rallies, etc. The first thing is a week of practice before cheer- leading camp. Then comes camp. This year Westlake attended Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas from July 2nd through the 7th. A great deal of hard Work is put into this week so that these girls can come back home and raise the spirit at Westlake. At camp, 50 squads started their day with break- 1973-79 WeSt1Hke Cheefle-WSIS fast at 7:00. An exercise class followed and then three cheers were taught over a period fo 45 minutes. Next came an optional workshop, stunt classes or tumbling. Classes were also held on different calls made by the officials, crowd participation, pep rallies, and grooming. Lunch was at 12:00 and at 2:00 a workshop took place in which cheers were worked on for the competition. Supper was eaten at 5:00, with competition following at 6:30. After awards were given, the rest of the night was spent meeting cheerleaders from different schools. Westlake brought home one excellent and three superior ribbons. Each cheerleader received a superior spirit stick was won on the second day of camp. Westlake also competed in the Award of Excellence in which only 5 squads of the 50 were chosen. Next comes two weeks of summer practice with the Ramettes. Cheers, chants, stunts, and jumps are Worked on and perfected for the upcoming year. Football season starts in the late summer for the cheerleaders. Making signs, cheering at scrimmages, and working on plans for the year are all things which must be done. The cheerleaders stay after school to paint signs, make breakthroughs, decorate halls, serve the athletes kwik-kick and cookies, practice for pep rallies, and whatever else the coaches request. The same routine follows through basketball season although it is not quite as tense. Cheerleading is hard and takes a great deal of work. Many people really don't realize all that goes on behind the scenes. The pressure often gets tough but there is a reward. Little things like a thank you for all you've donev from the coaches and the teachers help a great deal. Hearing the crowd yell the cheers and chants and trying to support the rams fill the cheerleaders with a warm sense of satisfaction. All in all these girls would never give up their years as being cheerleaders. A People respect cheerleaders and they truly deserve all of the respect. To remind the cheer- leaders of their wonderful time at camp, here is the song which will not be forgotten: Friends we are, And friends we'll always be, Together we will cheer so faithfully, Cheerleaders we'l1 always be, Until We meet again.

Everytime our football team ran onto the field we were there with them. The crowd cheered in the stands, along with the cheerleaders. The band played music which fired up our team. When the basketball team took to the court, the gym was filled with shouts which echoed loudly. It was not unusual to see one of our players Hslam dunk iti' which brought more life and spirit into the students. Our spirits followed the track team during long runs, short runs, and field events. The Ram Relays were a big track event for WHS. We played before school and after school. We played touch football, we threw the Frizbie, and we 'gplayedn tricks on each other. During the summer months we got involved with baseball, softball, and swimming. We found that playing took as much time as working did, Training for any sport requires hours of practice, discipline, and dedication. We learned by practicing and putting this practice into action. We learned what it was like to be part of a team. We learned how one mistake could hurt the team. We also learned to share thejoys of winning and the sorrows of losing. We played, not only for fun but to experience satisfaction with ourselves and to have others satisfied with us. We played to win!!! E i it fi 3 . Gary strives for success!

Each day as we awakened and saw the morning sun and breathed in the crisp, fresh air, it was only another reminder of all the challenges that we were to face that day. Track was just one of the challenges that high school had to offer. The people who decided to take this opportunity had a lot of goals to meet and a load of responsibility to carry along with it. As a young athlete walked out onto the field, a feeling of tension developed as he thought of becoming a part of the track team. When he stopped to observe the surer athletes performing with ease and grace, it only made him more nervous. But after a couple of weeks of working out with the other members, he soon found that he could do just as well. Sandra Deville shows the strategy that it takes to overcome an opponent for a hopeful victory. 115 Track Members Run and Jump Cal Kile shows a tremendous effort in clearing the height between the pole and the ground.

' In years to come we can remember how being on the track team made us feel about ourselves and our,competitors,i 116 most of all how much time our coaches spent helping us. 'O if iii?

A, gy The Ram-ler staff interviewed members ofthe track team.We would like to show you some of their comments: . 'gTrack took a great deal of time. The track team generally practiced from 2:15 until 4:00. Many runners stayed until 5:00 working on areas they felt needed improving. Track practices sometimes included jogging two laps, running five 220,s, three 330,s, two 440's, and run- ning behind automobiles around the track. Most track members found track took quite a bit of time. They usually had to schedule all of their other activities around the time they spent with track. The coaches expected the track members to be at the practices on time everyday. They also expected the track members to go out there and do their very best. Most track members would com- pete with each other during practice which actually helped them to do better when a track meet arrived. ,Ms Greg hustles the two mile run. 1 18 f ,,, , I Dana Landers strives for a victory. 1 , 217 Z 'k K M-ft, .I K by f ' I L. 1 -5 .. -'ff 'TLTLIW 1 A I . -- At. , x , .l,, , .. .J my L ' 'J WW!

The three Ram running backs each picked up almost the total rushing yardage of the whole team last week. The game started off almost the same as the game against the Gators as both teams could not move the ball too well. The Wolves marched to the Ram 26 yard line only to be held by a Landers tackle on the draw play. Then Deaton intercepted his first pass of the night. The ball game was marred by penalities on both sides, with the Rams receiving 85 yards on 7 penalties. The Wolves gave up 65 yards on 6 calls. After an exchange of the ball the Rams struck on a 38 yard pass to Barrentine who made the score of the game. Deaton who had a great night on defense, intercepted two more passes before the half to have a total of three for the night.

The 133-pound sophomore completed 11 of Z1 passes and had one intercepted. ' 'V The Ram's first touchdown followed a 55-yard drive on ll plays, with Anderson hitting Landers for the score at the 7:21 mark of the second period. Kerry Rigmaiden's running try for the extra points failed. In the second quarter the Rams took the opening kickoff and marched all the way to the Eunice 8 before fumbling. Besides that drive and the two TD marches, the Rarns could muster little offense as Eunice's defense did a respectable job itself. Rigmaiden was Westlake's leading ground gainer with 66 yards on 13 carries. Barrentine caught six passes for 61 yards. tAmerican Pressl RAMS RALLY TO DOWN TARPONS. 22-13 A booming 52 yard punt by Jimbo Barrentine helped rally the Westlake Rams to a victory.

On the Bulldogs' last down, a bad snap turned into a fumble, with Westlake recovering. The game was over and Westlake had handed Jennings its second consecutive district defeat in as many weeks. , Both teams were even in total offense, with Jennings gaining l46 yards, all on the ground, and Westlake mustering 150 yards, all but three by passing. Anderson completed 10 of 21 and had two picked off. Barrentine was Anderson's favorite receiver, catching seven for 79 yards. The Rams, had their best shot at scoring in regulation time in the first period, as they drove from their 44 to the Bulldog seven before stalling. A 31-yard field goal attempt by Mike Morgan was wide to the right. I In the third quarter, Westlake marched to the Bulldog 30 before a penalty and a quarterback sack halted the drive. Jennings dipped into Ram territory several times, the farthest to the Westlake 25. There quarterback Kevin Seagraves, doubling as placekicker, missed on a 42-yard field goal attempt. The Rams, defense was also impres- sive, stopping Jennings runners four times behind the line.

The seniors of '79 proved once r I r' is again that the spirit of W. H. S. is led . by the senior class. We were eager to be the leaders of any activity and we participated fully for we were eager to get involved. At Homecoming the faculty and seniors challenged each other as to who could promote the more spirit throughout the week. The faculty stayed close behind us as we painted and hung signs and yelled supporting chants over the p. a. system every morning during homeroom. When we felt that we desired more, for whatever reason there was, we called a meeting of the seniors and had fun on our own. From horseback riding to having a Hallow- een party, we kept spirit within ourselves by planning special get-togethers outside of school. The senior class had a picnic over the Thanksgiving holidays and also planned to take a senior trip at the end of the year. 164 The Senior Seminar, which was held at the Civic Y or Of course they love the Seniors of'79!

Your junior year helps life make the best of you. But you can also make the best of life . . F' Juanita Daigle nTo me being a junior means that one phase in my life will soon be over and another, more important one, will soon begin. Choosing a vocation is one important decision I have to make by myself. I need to pick the best college to attend to help me in whatever I choose to do. I think being ajunior means being able to enjoy high school.

I also realized that with the leadership comes a huge responsibility, more than I have ever known. Now comes my class ring, a symbol of achievement. The ring says I have made it, that I am a member of Westlake High's graduating class of 1980. The junior is generally happy because it is his next to last year of high school but in the brief time between now and graduation the junior must make some weighty decisions which will affect his whole life. This is what being a junior means to me. Jim Stell 168 S 2 ' 1 1-5-i--fwfr, I is X' he t iv X. 4? , .9 x! I. A F Nw X L in l EES' . Q, s q. if an wwf! Ex 'T' ie Er at N , .. ,,.

On October 20 and November 3, the Juniors won the spirit stick in the com- petition. They really tried hard each time to get it but some other class always seemed louder. Now that the Juniors have won it twice, it shows that they have spirit. 'gBeing a junior is a fantastic experi- ence.

Many businesses in our community give time, material and financial aid to us while we are producing our yearbook. We attempt to show our appreciation of this by buying from these merchants. Students are a big part of the con- sumer activity in Westlake. Let's remember to support the businesses that boost our endeavors. We recognize that without the help of the businesses and townspeople of Westlake, many of our extracurricular activities would not exist.

We sell advertising space to local businesses. These busi- nesses buy a valuable product from us. However, we realize that they must have faith and interest in the stu- dents at Westlake High School to choose to invest a part of their advertising budget in our yearbook. The Ram-ler staff encourages students and their parents to patronize the business that support us. We salute these business men and express our sincere appreciation for their faith and support.
