Multi-talented 50th graduating class comes together senior year

Meredith Cole Asst. Entertainment Editor
ost people experience some sort of graduation. They don a cap and gown and walk across a stage to receive a kindergarten certificate or a high school diploma. Some may say that all graduation ceremonies and all graduating classes are the same, but for the class of 2010 it’s a different story. As the 50th graduating class, they were destined to be a part of West’s history from the moment they entered kindergarten. “It feels like we’re representing all of those previous graduates. We’re representing those 50 years of growth and 50 years of everything the school has experienced,” senior class president Olivia Springer said. “We’re kind of that milestone, so it’s a really cool feeling.” Along with being the 50th class, this year’s senior class is diverse. State champions, club leaders, outstanding musicians and actors — the Class of 2010 is full of extraordinary students.
“I feel like our senior class is really talented, and I think that everyone finds their niche or what they’re good at and sticks with that,” Springer said. “We have our own talents; we find them and work to develop and perfect them. I just think we’re a group of a good variety of kids.” Talent in the Class of 2010 is obvious through their athletic abilities. Seniors on the volleyball team won a state title their junior year and were state runners-up their senior year. The four seniors on the women’s golf team picked up a state title in 2009. The amount of athletic talent in the senior class has also led to athletic scholarships in volleyball, swimming, men’s and women’s golf, baseball, wrestling and softball. “This senior class is phenomenal,” senior guidance counselor Shannon Auten said. “I came in with this group my first year at West, so I’ve had the privilege of watching them grow and mature over four years as students, leaders, athletes and members of the community.” As with most graduating classes, the seniors have come together during their final year. Cer-
tain events held for the seniors, such as the senior picnic, have helped to bring them together as a class. “We have all come together, like at the picnic when we all tie-dyed T-shirts. It was one of the things that really brought our class together,” Springer said. “I think everyone was very excited that we became so unified our senior year.” Making it through senior year can be tough between graduation projects, “senioritis” and the anticipation of graduation, but for one senior, the journey held even larger challenges. Senior J.J. Jarvis was in a car accident days before his senior year began. The accident left him in the hospital with multiple injuries. However, Jarvis will be beside his classmates at graduation. “It means a lot to me to think about how much I have been through and how much I was able to overcome,” Jarvis said, “but I would not have been able to accomplish all this and would not be graduating if it wasn’t for Mr. (Ken) Rash. He pushed me to keep going even when things weren’t going well.”

They worked really hard, and can now say that the hard work pays off with the trophies we have been rewarded and excellence at competitions,” band director Allen Klaes said. “Newton-Conover was a great feeling for the students.

he year was 1960. Students from three different schools in Henderson County were together for the first time on the campus of their new consolidated high school. As the students entered the building, they saw spacious classrooms with freshly painted walls and shiny tile halls lined with Carolina blue lockers. “The first day was filled with anticipation, walking into a beautiful new facility. It was just eye-opening. There was space, even with the 400 plus students and the lack of the vocational building. Soon everybody knew each other, and the forming of the one school did not seem like such a big deal,” 1960 Class President Kohlan Flynn said. In 1980 Flynn returned to West as principal. It was 50 years ago when West was formed by combining three high schools: Fletcher, Mills River and Etowah. There was no vocational building, no track, no football field and no baseball field. The new high school lacked a mascot and school colors, so a vote was taken. The students decided on the falcon as a mascot and red, white and Carolina blue as school colors, taking Flynn’s suggestion of borrowing one color from each of their previous high schools. Although these three rival schools were very competitive, they came together. “We didn’t have computers or cell phones; we had eight-track tapes because cassettes weren’t here yet, so

Jarvis’s experiences also impacted his football teammates. During this year’s season, the team and coaches decided to honor Jarvis. Each number 10 marking the 10-yard lines was painted white, representing Jarvis’s football number. “Seeing how much the coaches and the team cared for me and how they would do something like that really meant something to me,” Jarvis said. “Even though I couldn’t be there, they never forgot about me. The school also did that candlelight vigil, which I would like to thank them for.” The impact didn’t stop with the football team. The senior class as a whole was affected by the accident. Each senior felt Jarvis’s challenges. “The accident with J.J. was eye-opening for everyone,” Springer said. “All the seniors kind of realized how important it is to tell all your friends how much you love them and to just remind everyone how important it is to be appreciative of things.

While enjoying a lollipop given to him by American missionary Greg Cope, Darius stands with his friend Demetrius (top) during recreation time. Cope went on a mission trip to Haiti in 2006. Squeezed into seats, children from the St. Ard Orphanage (above left) load a school bus. The school bus was also used to take the children to church. Rolling change, teacher Michael Hale (above center) raises money to help relief efforts in Haiti. His “Change for Haiti” effort collected $839 to be sent to Samaritan’s Purse. Children from the St. Ard Orphanage (above right) travel to school. They call the trucks, their version of school buses, “tap-taps.”
wo young Haitian girls clung to American missionary Greg Cope’s legs, trying to prevent him from leaving. They wanted him to take them back to his home in the United States, and he wished he could. The girls, Daphne and Murlunda, were orphans in the city of St. Ard, where Cope was working at the orphanage, building a hospital and ministering to the people of Haiti. But Cope couldn’t take the girls home with him, and he returned to the United States after spending 10 days in Haiti in October 2006. He left Daphne, Murlunda and dozens of other orphans behind, along with the stench of the trash and poverty all around them. “To this day I see their faces burning in my head,” Cope said. “That was probably the biggest impact that Haiti had on me, those children going without someone’s support.” Cope, husband of media assistant Denise Cope, went to Haiti with a group of 23 other people from Mission Haiti, a nonprofit organization based in Swannanoa that offers help to Haitians by building schools and hospitals. The pictures of the devestation caused by a 7.0 earthquake near the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, on Jan. 12 have caused Cope to reflect on his 2006 experiences and to look for ways to help again. More than 230,000 Haitians lost their lives in the earthquake that left 1.2 million more without homes. Haiti is classified as a Third World country and is described by the CIA World Factbook as “the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.” According to Cope, Haiti lags behind the United States in electrical and water systems by 30 to 40 years. Its history has been plagued with political violence and instability. “There’s hurt, and right now I want to be there. Just finding the opportunity to do it and to continue to work not only in the orphanage but outside of the orphanage as well. I would love to be able to be there,” Cope said. “My heart hurts for them and again it’s through the experience that I’ve had.” A series of aftershocks has continued to hinder relief efforts, with the most recent one registering 4.7 on the Richter Scale. This has made it difficult to begin clean-up and rebuilding efforts. Much of the capital and nearby cities will take

t’s the Roaring ’20s and living the life of luxury is everyone’s dream. A young girl leaves her home in a small town and arrives in the Big Apple. She’s trying to make it big and believes that New York City is just the place to help her find the things she is looking for to make her dreams come true. Her name is Millie Dilmount. “She’s daring, courageous, and ready to take on the world,” drama teacher Kelly Cooper said. “A lot of real modern-day actors and actresses follow this same journey searching for fame.” The fine arts department’s spring musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie, takes the audience through Millie’s adventures in New York City. The musical opened last night and will be presented tonight and tomorrow night at 7
Parent is a 2006 graduate of West and currently a student at Western Carolina University. Both Parent and Cooper said that there have been no real difficulties with the production, and the only real challenge was deciding which roles to give to which students. Cooper is receiving help from other teachers and students as well. “(Strings teacher) Tiffany King has done a great job with the orchestra; they’ve been the best ever,” Cooper said. “Also, Donny Turner and Kristian Stevenson are running lights and sound for me, so this is the first year I can leave it to them and not have to worry.” In order to help promote the musical, West had a “1920s day” on March 16. It is a cross-curricular effort to tie in all subjects that are taught at West to the 1920s. Teachers have been encouraged to mention in their various classes what was happening in the 1920s in their subject areas. “I’ll be teaching the Charleston that day of course,
