And The Difference Is Things at WC are always changing. Students change. The administration and faculty change. Cliques change. Customs change. Virtually everything changes at one point or another. The Golden Era staff has decided that 1988 will be our year to change. Our goal is to make this book unique and one that WC students can take seriously and always remember. To reach this goal, we are incorporating a lot of new ideas into this book. Some of these changes, such as a distinct type style, will probably go unnoticed. Others, like our original style of writing, will be obvious. We hope that you will like the blend of changes and that they will make our book one of your best and most lasting memories of WC. One of the most important changes that we can make is to stop — by Jenny Hinshaw TOP: Sophomores Matt Hollingsworth and Clint Armstrong wait expectantly for the beginning of the water balloon toss during Fun and Games.

Taking Ourselves Seriously taking ourselves so seriously. A lot of people seem to get too wrapped up in school. They place too much importance on many things. Getting good grades. Winning the upcoming game. Scoring a 1400 on the SAT. Getting a date for Saturday night. All of these things seem life threatening. But why must everyone always take everything so seriously? With this idea in mind, we selected our 1988 theme, “Seriously.” As the cover suggests, we want to show the fun side of WC. We don’t want to ignore the serious things, but we would like to expose those infuriatingly serious students to the worthwhile, entertaining side of life that they are missing out on, possibly without even realizing it. We want to present things from a different angle to show the most positive, unusual aspects of life at WC. To begin with, let’s take a look at — by Jenny Hinshaw TOP: Bracing themselves for the upcoming tug-of-war, Mr. Kellie Stephen and Mr. Sanford Breuckheimer count the remaining seconds.
