Where does one find Ram Country? It is as easy as following the yellow brick road. Whether you come from the East or the West, Ram Country begins at the West end of the I-10 bridge. The direction to go is due North. But first, you will probably be stopped by the imfamous red light, train or both. After the brief delay, proceed to the next red light which brings you to the main drag of Ram Country, Sampson Street. Here the famous munches of Ram Country can be found in popular hangouts such as La Casita and Hardee's. Continuing North, you turn left onto Garden Drive (across from other famous land marks — the digital clock and the car wash) and go to the 4-way stop sign that is blamed by so many for first-hour tardiness. Then to your right you see it — the heart of Ram Country — Westlake High School. In Ram Country one becomes acutely aware of the community pride and spirit that abound here. From the large sign welcoming all into Westlake to the smallest decoration on a locker, pride is evident. Orange and Black colors are spread across town on business windows, automobile bumpers, and every size tee-shirt imaginable. Every Friday night after the big game, everyone knows where to go ... and that is Hardeeville! The newest moneyeating recreation is the Tonian Empire. These two places are the main stops in Westlake. Horns blaring, friends calling to other friends, and general mayhem take place as the crowd begins to congregate to finish off the evening. Unlike Dorothy in the Land of Oz, once you have found your way into the heart of Ram Country you will never want to leave. You are challenged not to just pass through Ram Country, but stay and become a part of it. 2 Operting Opening 3 Janice Bray orders her senior ring. School isn't all class work Students at Westlake High know that bookwork takes up most of their time, but all agree that it's not all classwork. Time was spent raising the roof at pep rallies and football games that began the sports-filled year. In between classes students found time to catch up on the latest gossip, pass notes to one another, or just shoot the breeze. Students enjoyed the infrequent assemblies that gave them a break from classwork. Juniors spent time ordering class rings. Many school-related activities filled the students' days such as the Beauty and Beaux Pageant, and different summer camps like the one the Westlake yearbook staff attended. School was a big part of WHS students' lives, but in addition to the work, there was always time for fun. Opening 5 Principals work hard Above: Mr. Callens puts all of his efforts into keeping the school running. Below. Mr. Anderson gets in the mood with his cowboy hat. The Ram-ler is a book for a life-time; a book which has recorded the history and the sprit of Westlake High School with which you have been associated this year. In its pages you will find reminders of the varied activities in which you have participated and of events you have witnessed. Here you will find pictures of friends, students, and faculty you have known during your stay at Westlake High School. This book will make those occasions much more meaningful. The 1982 Ram-ler sponsor and staff are to be commended for the outstanding effort put forth in this yearbook. This is your Ram-ler, enjoy it and treasure it for many years to come. Sincerely, Billy R. Callens, Principal 6 Opening senior ci Dedication The 1982 Ram-ler is dedicated to Barbara Lee McGuire for her many contributions to the students faculty and administration of Westlake High School. Congratulations Barbara, Come with me back to September 1952 and let's start all over again. Of course it will be hot, no air conditioning and just as then, you will be called upon for every imaginable task, but being the person you are, you will do them just as you did the job initially. In recalling those past years and the many problems we faced together, it has become increasingly clear that you were never adequately thanked tor those innumerable extra tasks that you so resolutely did for students, parents, teachers and, of course, me. So I welcome this opportunity to express, on behalf of Westlake High School, during those years, the student body, the faculty and myself, our heartfelt thanks for all those times you went beyond the bounds of your duty to serve us. In concluding my remarks, let me say it is hard to conceive of anyone who is more deserving of the honor you are receiving and, even more so, it is impossible to imagine anyone who would bear this honor more nobly, and certainly no one who would feel more joy over receiving it than you. So thank you, Barbara McGuire. You are unique. Most sincerely. Congratulations Barbara, I am extremely happy that the Ram-ler is being dedicated to you. I know of no other person who is involved in the program at Westlake High School more than you. As a former principal, I can say that your dedication to Westlake High School made things much easier for me. Your efficiency and dependableness helped students and faculty alike. It was a real pleasure for me to work with you. The Ram-ler staff is to be commended for selecting you for their dedication. Sincerely, Marion A. Benson Dedication 7 John M. LeTard The school year of 1981-1982 brought many new changes to our lives in Ram Country. Situations such as Sam Houston High sharing our school and our 7-tol2 school day brought a sense of hurriedness, and touched us in different ways. Along with these changes, familiar events and daily activities brought back old memories and even helped to make new ones. Homecoming and meeting at Hardees are only a few of the activities that will be memories too soon. Even though there was always that eternal complaint of nothing to do around here, where is there a better place than Ram Country? 8 Student Life Sor STUDENT LIFE in Ram Country Student Life 9 10 Student Life Some work, some play before school starts Although the school year began August 24, 1981, many students were participating in school activities prior to this date. Many worked long hard hours while attending Ramette, band, or football practice. Other clubs had window washes, car washes, and other moneyraising projects. On July 27, many students attended an autograph party held when their yearbooks were given to them. Friends were reunited for a time and exchanged news and autographs. While many worked hard throughout the summer, including school-related work, all found time to “jam when the weekly dances rolled around. Westlake students had a great time doing everything from the good ol' two-step to some punk rock to Whip It. All of the work and fun could only mean one thing — the new school year was right around the corner. Classes began and students began following schedules for the new year, a year that was certain to bring many memories. Top left: Faculty and students work to prepare schedules for the new year.

Student Life 11 Tonian Creatures invade Westlake There is a new sound in Westlake. It is not the sound of a car horn or radio blasting. It is the new music of ka-boom, c-r-r-unch, and bleep-blip coming from the Tonian Empire. Video games, such as Pac-Man, Centipedes, and Asteroids, have swept across Westlake, making the Empire a popular handout for high school students. Many students spend a great deal of time and money there, after a visit to Hardees or after a school activiy. Students spend hours either in or out of the Empire, playing games and exchanging gossip. Some students become skillful at playing these games. This skill has demanded hours of practice, not to mention many dollars. Although many students spend many dollars at the Tonian Empire and may seem to have little to show for it except their initials on the machine when they score high, the Empire serves as a great place to be while high school memories are created. Top left: Jimbo Ingram polishes up his skill. Top right: Franky Edwards is one of many students that enjoys fighting. The summer of 1981 proved to be a great learning experience for Dana Canik, Cheryl Watson, K. K. Onxley, and Jeff Snyder. Dana and Cheryl attended Girls State, while K. K. and Jeff attended Boys State. The process under which Girls and Boys State works is based on the way all types of government within our state work. Each student learned the responsibilities and tasks of governmental officials, on the city, parish, and state levels. Each individual worked hard to achieve a goal after the long week of hard work. Speeches were made and campaigns went on for those who were running for a specific office. Dana and Jeff were elected to City Council positions; K. K. was elected to a Parish Council where he served as vice-president, and Cheryl was elected a State Representative. According to the students, they learned a great deal about leadership. New friends were made in spite of a very busy schedule. All agreed that they learned very much and had great fun. Cheryl summed it all up when she said, It was a terrific learning experience and we learned a lot about Louisiana government. Snow and freezing temperatures chill Westlake Freezing tempertures had a great deal to do with the school year of 1981-82. The cold weather brought good things as well as bad. Probably the worst thing that came with the cold weather was the tragic fire that burned Sam Houston High School to the ground. Many families went without electricity for days. This was especially hard on those with central heat. Although there were many incoveniences because of icy roads and loss of electricity, students of WHS enjoyed a 3-day vacation from school on January 12, 13, and 14. All Calcasieu Parish schools were closed because of the terrible weather conditions. Snow fell Wednesday night, the 13th, and early Thursday morning, the 14tn. Although not much snow fell, residents of Westlake had their fun building small snowmen, having snowball fights, and sliding on ice-covered pavements. Most students enjoyed the fact that six-weeks tests were postponed because of the closing of school. Many made good use of this time to catch up on homework. Although the snow only lasted a matter of hours, many enjoyed its presence because we seldom get to see snow in Southwest Louisiana. Every other Wednesday, my afternoons are free . . . In September, 1981, the Calcasieu Parish School Board made a change in the school schedule. Teachers were allowed a half day off for in-service activities. These activity days fell on the first and third Wednesdays of every month. The first Wednesday students attended their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd hour classes then dismissed at 12:25. The third Wednesday students attended their 4th, 5th, and 6th hour classes. This procedure was changed when the platooning with Sam Houston High School began Student Life 13 Dana Canik and Mr. Green welcome Mr. Kirkendall All that remains of SHHS. and Suzanne Sutherland. The new year of 1982 seemed to bring tragedy and changes. The greatest tragedy involved students of Sam Houston High School as their school turned to ashes because of a fire Monday, January 11. Many students stood across the street and watched with tears in their eyes. Luckily, all 14 Student Life Moss Bluff schools were closed that day because of heating problems. The fire began around 11 AM and lasted approximately two hours. Students here at Westlake watched during lunch as the smoke from the fire filled the air. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday all schools in Calcasieu Parish were closed because of extremely cold weather and ice storms that left Southwest Louisiana with icy roads and inadequate heat in many buildings. School resumed Friday, January 15, and an assembly was held to inform Westlake students of the changes that would involve them because of the fire at SHHS. Plans were made for Sam Houston students to be “platooned to Westlake High School for the Bruce Broussard, Murray Reed and Kyle Landreneau slop to read These are the remains of SHHS after a destroying fire, the welcome sign. remainder of the year. The plan went into effect Monday, January 18 as Westlake Students attended school from 7 AM to noon. Sam Houston _students attended school from 1 PM to 6 PM. Although WHS and SHHS are known for the traditional rivalry which has grown over the past years, Westlake Students sympathized with Sam Houston students because of the loss of their school. Rivalry was set aside and Sam Houston students were warmly welcomed with signs and posters by faculty, students, and various organizations of Westlake High School. Sam Houston students responded by posting a huge purple and gold sign that read, Thank you, WHS. Adjustments were made by everyone from both schools, but everyone eventually got used to them. Many enjoyed the shorter school day. Events such as this prove that even though there may be rivalry in the sports area, we put those feelings aside, and help our fellow man when he is in trouble. It was a time we felt proud of ourselves. Student Life 15 A scene from the Westlake vs. Marion HC game. The game brought the Westlake fans to their feet.

Student Life 17 Homecoming: A week of celebration The week of homecoming, September 14-18, was a time for celebration at Westlake High. Many activities, such as hat day, western day, orange and black day and dress-up day filled the week. These added excitement to an already exciting time. Thursday, Sept. 17, many Westlake residents enjoyed the homecoming parade which began at S. P. Arnett Middle School and ended at Westlake High. The parade was followed by a pep rally held in the 18 Student Life parking lot in front of the football stadium. After the pep rally, students gathered at Hardee's or the gameroom and discussed the excitement that was hanging in the air. Friday, an assembly was held to present the 1981 Homecoming Court. Finers Cryer entertained at this assembly, and the student body responded with a standing ovation. Friday night was perfect. The weather was cold and that homecoming spirit filled the air. The Ra-mettes and Ram Band performed during halftime. The homecoming court was presented, and the new queen, Cheryl Duhon, was crowned. To add to the thrills, the mighty Halloween Machine defeated the Marion Chargers. For Westlake students and faculty, homecoming was a week of celebration. Page 18.

A fad that swept the campus was this movable square of squares. The objective was to line up each side according to color. RIGHT: Bret Spell is Westlake High's fastest Rubik Cuber.

These jeans are worn not only for everyday school dress but also for a night out on the town. Even though they are quite expensive, running from $25 to $40, the price hasn't stopped people from buying them.

BELOW LEFT: Sergio Valente became a well-known brand name this year Student Life 21 Book bags and brown bags make the scene Brown bagging arrived at Westlake High this year. Maybe it was the increase in cafeteria prices or maybe students were just ready for a change. Most lunches were eaten in the vicinity of the band room. Students sat outside when the weather was nice or found a comfortable hook when they had to be inside. Sack lunches usually consisted of a sandwich, chips, fruit and dessert. A thermos of drink was not unusual, but usually a soft drink was purchased from the coke machine in the band room. There were even those students who carried sack lunches from Hardee's, but this was not condoned by the administration or the faculty.

Many students at Westlake High have them now, and many will have them in the future. Braces produce many problems for the bracee. Often these problems cause embarrassment. Loose wires can be a problem. If this occurs, wax may be applied. One should never get hungry with wax in his mouth. If the bracee does become hungry, food and wax are eaten simultaneously. None has solved this problem so far. Another problem that is common to almost everyone with braces is the use of rubber bands. It's rather funny when a person with braces yawns in church and his rubberband pops out. However, it's not so funny to the person sitting in front when the rubberband stings him in the back of the head. The most common problem experienced by all persons with braces is eating embarrassment. Pizza is probably the worst type of food to eat. According to Stephanie Hebert, her most embarrassing moment with braces was eating at Tony's Pizza. The day she got her braces, her cousin took her out to eat. The cheese stuck in her braces which made her too embarrassed to talk. There is one thing people with braces should always remember: never smile when eating. That can cause a total gross out. Although the disadvantages seem endless, there are a few advantages. According to Roderick Thibodeaux, the biggest advantage to him is letting the good-looking orthodontist assistants work on his teeth. After wearing braces for the average of two years, most people give a sigh of relief when the braces are taken off. When asked how she felt about once wearing braces, Cinda White replied, I think it was worth wearing braces because it improved my teeth a great deal. There were things I didn't like, such as the fact that I wasn't supposed to chew gum or drink cokes, although I did them anyway. I didn't mind wearing braces because I didn't feel like I was the only one with them. Cinda, Roderick, Stephanie, and many other others have had to brace up to braces. Even though problems occur, in the long run it's worth it. TOP LEFT: Jimmy Rippeon hides his braces. MIDDLE. Taran Menge does not let braces interfere with her flute playing.

Oxford shirts, top-siders, and plaids make up that preppy look. Susan McManus is wearing every thing it takes. With the yellow oxford shirt she has matched yellow socks and top-siders to bring out the yellow in her red plaid belted dress. The dressy look has gone more casual than in the past. Sweaters are tied around the neck and lower comfortable shoes are being worn. Lisa Thibodeaux is showing the style in a plaid skirt with a casual long sleeve shirt. She has a sweater tied around her neck that drapes in the back. 24 Student Life Knickers and peddle-pushers are the new fad this year. There are several ways they can be worn. They can be dressed up or put together as something casual. Cheryl Duhon, above, is wearing brown corduroy knickers with a white lacey blouse. She's wearing brown plaid socks and top siders to make her outfit more casual. Sandra Hudson, above right, is wearing green peddle-pushers and a multi-colored shirt which she has belted with a green belt. Her socks are light tannish-green and she wearing top-siders. Green is in. The newest, most popular style is camouflage. Green shirts, pants, and headbands are worn with tennis shoes. Also there is the green belt. Kevin Comeaux is wearing the complete set. The shirt that is dark green, light green, and brown is worn with the green pants. There are also pants like the shirts that are worn together. Student Life 25 Cal-Cam Fair Representatives Gay Rose represented Westlake High in the senior division of the Cal-Cam Queen pageant. She was chosen as second alternate. Shawn Picard represented Westlake High in the junior division of the Cal-Cam Queen pageant. She was among the top 12 finaliists. New Ramettes live through initiation Being a Ramette requires more than most people think. Most Ramettes must be good sports and have a good sense of humor. If they don't, initiation could means dooms-day. It has always been a tradition for new Ramettes to be initiated by their Big Sisters who are the senior Ramettes. The Big Sisters have a wonderful time making their little sisters do embarrassing things such as singing to the class while kneeling down, pushing pennies with their noses across the courtyard, and acting like a chicken in front of the football team. Shawn Picard probably had the most embarrassing task when she sang We Love You, Rams on the loud speaker so the whole school could hear her. Lisa Vincent gives Charles Hebert a big hug. Shawn Picard moves her penny along. Shawn Picard sings her song In addition to these embarrass-ing acts, the initi-fl ates' appearances were not to be forgotten. Shoe boxes were worn on the feet. Masking tape was wrapped around the legs. They wore the old Ramette skirts with bloomers underneath which were stuffed with pillows to give the effect of a fairly large rear end. There was also the usual mardigra beads, stink perfume, ridiculous makeup, and several ponytails to make the hair look nice. Lisa Vincent probably suffered the worst because of the peanut butter that served as her facial make up. All in all, most had fun even though the torture seemed endless. Now, those girls know that it takes more than marching ability to become a Westlake High Ramette. Ramettes show oft a new style. Donald and Renee Baker ham it up. Spirit is not just a word, it's a feeling Painted faces, marching in the halls, and exciting pep rallies were all a part of the spirit of Westlake High. Everyone lived for the Friday night games and the excitement that was aroused. The decorating of the gym was a high-light this year. Streamers hung from the ceiling and signs of determination covered the walls. The band played peppy music that everyone jammed wildly to. The Ramettes and cheerleaders got the spirit up and everyone on their feet This had to be a spirited year because the football team played themselves to eight victories.

A teacher's work is never done Everyone knows about teachers in the classroom. However, the administrators and faculty did many things outside the classroom that added to the school year. Teachers participated in our spirit drives. They planned field trips. Mrs. Parker took her English IV classes to the Renaissance Festival. Mr. Mrs. Billy Broussard, Mrs. Bev Hauskins, Mrs. Mary Lou Carver and Mr. Mrs. Leonard Myers chaperoned this group. Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Jackie Ackel took English and speech students to plays at McNeese. Mrs. Hauskins and Mrs. Adrian Horton took members of FBLA to their convention. Mr. Broussard and Beta members attended conventions also. Mrs. Margie Myers took Rally students to Baton Rouge. ABOVE: Assistant principal Gary Anderson gets the homecoming spirit on hot day.

Mr. Frank Harrell, Mrs. Jackie Morris and the coaches all spent many hours outside the classroom. Desks, grades, blackboards, paper and pencils were only part of a teacher's job.

Student Life 31 Lefties do it right Being a left-handed person has its good points and bad points, although the disadvantages appear to outnumber the advantages. The most common problem among lefthanders seems to be the use of scissors. Sometimes it is hard to find a pair of scissors for the left hand so a left-handed person is stuck with the problem of asking a right-hander to do the cutting. Another problem lefthanders face is the eating problem. A crowded lunchroom can be very hazardous. The lunch tray's section for the fork and knife is on the right side. If this isn't annoying enough, try eating next to a right-handed person. Elbows are always colliding only to result in spilled food. During class the only major problem seems to be the spiral rings on notebooks. These can be a nuisance to a left-hander if he is writing a rather lengthy paper. Debbie McGee, a junior cheerleader, says her main problem with being left-handed involves cheering. According to her, the cheers are sometimes frustrating to learn because when everyone is doing something with their right hands, she naturally does it with her left. This makes her stand out in a crowd, which is nice, but not so nice if they are all supposed to be doing the same thing. Being left-handed also makes her left-legged. This makes Debbie prefer to kick opposite the other cheerleaders which also shows up in a group routine. The only big advantage in being left-handed comes in the sports category. A left-handed athlete is often called lefty. Lefty baseball pitchers seem to have an advantage in the way they throw the ball. A lefty pitcher can also easily keep an eye on the man on first trying to steal second base. A lefty batter tends to hit the ball in a different direction from the majority right-handed batters. Left-handers seem to be more plentiful today than in the past, but they are still heavily outnumbered. Debbie McGee speaks for all lefties when she says, Being left-handed has its disadvantages, but sometimes it's good to be a little different from everyone else. Debbie McGee, junior, shows that writing in a notebook depends upon individual style - Note: no spiral wrist for Debbie! Mrs. Kay Coltrin, English teacher, demonstrates her left-handed blackboard technique. Eddie Hebert gets a kick from Martial Arts Eddie Hebert has been studying karate' for two years under Rod Prejean at the Lake Charles Karate School. He earned second place trophies in Leesville and Baton Rouge tournaments and a third place in a Lake Charles tournament. Eddie studies Karate' because he enjoys it as a sport and likes participating in tournaments. He also likes the sense of self defense he feels. Eddie plans to continue his karate' as a sport and hopes to add kick boxing after he finishes school. 33 Top Row: Denise Johnston, Stephanie Hebert, Cinda White, and Sonya Hall.

While some students may say nothing or not much, most students do what they came for — learn and study. Although this is the purpose of going to school, much more happens in a school day. In the classroom tests are taken, rules and formulas are memorized, and notebooks are filled. Between classes, people head for lockers while student and teacher gather around for a chat. Hustling and sweating take over on the practice fields; much of both being done to sharpen the winning edge. Peo rallies liven Friday afternoons and fire up the school. No matter what is said, West-lake High School students work hard in school. Right: Sometimes we practice drills during P.E. Right: Sometimes we grab a minute to make a phone call about our Fifties Day outfit. Sometimes we play the songs we learned in band at pep rallies. Sometimes we work with drafting equipment in an Art III class. 48 Sometimes we have assemblies, especially during Homecoming. Sometimes we need a lot of help from a teacher. And sometimes we listen while a student makes a report. Student Life 49 Students and faculty in Ram Country spent most of their time learning and teaching in classrooms. For fifty minutes each class period, students wrote essays, computed tax problems, dissected frogs, practiced music, and more. Occasionally, learning was interrupted as the class clown cracked a joke. However, our teachers took all of this in stride and encouraged us to learn. Although learning was emphasised in the classroom, it didn't stop there. Field trips provided an education for us, and we learned more about our teachers. We had fun in the lab and classroom and yes, we even had fun learning. But we never lost sight of our goal — education. 50 Academics for ACADEMICS in Ram Country Academics 51 Rally team represents WHS well Local rally team: Robert Barnum, Marty Morrison, Shari Fontenot, Keith Kelley, Cheri Soileau, Rebecca Robinson, Bart Gillard, Susan Gary, Darlene Bean, and Dianna Campbell.

The Ramettes stress academics (members must maintain a 2.0 average) and strive to build a sense of responsibility within each member. The most active time of the year is football season during which Ramettes have half-time and pregame performances. Other performances include participation in local parades, highlighted by the annual trip to Natchitoches, Louisiana to march in the Christmas Festival parade. Also during the holiday season the Ramettes add to the Christmas spirit by sponsoring the school Christmas Formal. During basketball season the girls support the school basketball teams. The year begins to wind-down in early Spring with tryouts for the following year. Tryouts are conducted for new members, flag corp, drum corp, cheerleaders and captains. Results are announced at our final formal affair, the Annual Ramette Banquet. In the girls' four years of high school, the organization hopes to mold young girls into mature young women, prepared for whatever life holds for them.

Cryer Music Youth In every community there are two outstanding organizations that touch nearly every life of that community. One is the school which is dedicated to the task of educating and preparing the youth of that community to face a world and be capable of surviving and contributing in that world. The church is the other important organization in any community. Its task is to educate and prepare youth and adults in their spiritual lives as they live, work, and play in their community. The two organizations really work hand in hand and are very closely related. For you see, a community that is educated desires a deeper knowledge and a closer relationship to their Creater. A spiritually mature community will desire and need education in order to fulfill their complete relationship to God and man. In reality we cannot exist without each other. In Westlake we are fortunate to have that dual relationship Detween school and church. God has blessed our town and people because of it. We congratulate our school facility and its students and offer our prayers and support as we work together to make Westlake an outstanding place in which to live. May Westlake High School students be ever mindful of II Timothy 2:15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the world of truth. -Finers Cryer 198 ACTION PHOTOS STUDIO Portraits Indoor Outdoor School Commercial Weddings C.R.

Class Of '82 Westlake exit next right Hope you've enjoyed your stay in Ram Country. It's been a year full of fun, excitement and new memories. All the work that went into this year was started last summer. Football players, basketball players, the band, and Ramettes started sweating early in the morning to make this year a great one. There were a number of exciting days, and there was a day or two of gloom. The screams, cheers, and loud music from the band still echo from the pep-rallies. The excitement of the players and coaches was evident through expressions on faces and restlessness from nervous starters. For every season there was a sport and that kept students spirited all year round. All of the cheering and blowing of horns made everyone feel good because they felt they were helping the team to victory. Everything will start all over again, and it has to be made better than before. We did that this year to continue the tradition. Everyone worked together, and that is what one must do to be a part of Ram Country.
