Ms. Polly Ann Carter Shinton graduated from Westmoreland High School in 1967. Not much has changed since then, she says. We still have only two restrooms , but students today don't seem to be as academically inclined as students were several years ago. The latter bothers her, because she believes everyone needs an education whether they go to college or not. Ms. Shinton chose to teach at Westmoreland because she enjoys teaching in a small school where there is more student-teacher communiation. She likes students who are considerate ot others and cooperative. She says, Any child who is willing to learn can be taught something. Her favorite quote is: I would rather have a B student with an A character than an A student with a B character. She first saw this quote in former WHS teacher, now substitute, Ms. Marguerite Law's room. Her favorite subject is Literature and her hobby is cooking. As lar as how she spends her tree time, it can be summed up like thisg What free time?! As an occupation, she enjoys teaching more than anything else. Even il teachers don't get paid what they deserve, there are many intangible rewards. lt always gives me a good feeling to think that I have helped a student get his life on the right track.

ALL THAT WE SEE . . . As a new year begins, we enter a new dimension of sight, sound, and imagina- tion. 0ur dreams accompany us sometimes as a silent companion whose voice speaks only to us . . . sometimes as a fulfilled dream, becoming a memory whose presence inspires, making the statement that dreams do come true. lr. high and sr. high move down the same crowded hallways dreaming of the new school which will soon become a reality. A dream that did come true through hard work, determination, and faith, was the trip the band took to Disney world in the spring of 1986 when they led the Magic World of Music Days Parade. Individually, we strive for the fulfillment of our personal dreams new and stronger friendships, academic achieve- Above: Tammy Money goes into a deep trance when she goes loo long without her Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Pep rallies, dress- up days, games and contests, floats and parades all combine to turn our dreams into the memories of the school year. The achievement of two individual dreams inspire us.
