That was sooooo long ago! The front of the school moved forward and engulfed this sign and wall in the mid 90s expansion. The flag still flies but about 40 feet to the southwest of this location. Of course back then there were less stars on it too ;-)
Ready set PEP!
These Cheerleaders were sporting white uniforms in 1972.At least three of them went on to become teachers.
One here at WHS ~ guess who?
Lori Jean Ledford
Honors Chorus was a big deal under Mr. Wilson
Sporting double breasted gold blazers the voice was the medium
Li'l Abner and Daisy Mae were still around back then
and square dances in the lobby were anything but SQUARE!
Fashion and Nature working it together
Polka dot patterns and ironed straight hair were the style
Posing for the court
or becoming one of our queens
Students in 1972 had a poise and grace, made some noise and ruled the place.
Unlike any of the years before.
Notice the skirt length! (How hard was it to line them up perfectly to the same height across the front row)!?!
These guys were a lot more casual in their poses,

This is one of the youngest (and cutest) teachers in the science department.

Harlan Ledford (father of the cheerleader above) was sporting a pompadour hair style and a killer neck tie. Sort of a Keith Haring design if you see it.
Bobby Harmon was Harlans' bud and he too had a daughter who wound up teaching at WHS.
Bob Davis kept an eye on the antics of his auto shop boys, and wouldn't you know it, he too had a daughter who teaches at WHS!
Graduation robes were black back then and gold tassels were worn by the academic honors students. (that tradition was abandoned in the late 80s but has made it back into the ceremony in the 00s)
Ms Wells and her art club. Two of these students have made their name and livelihood making art, Tracy and Tim.
Jim has that "look"....
Times changed, hopefully habits did too.
A few of the faces of 1972
Do you know any of these folks?
Can you get a sense of the times from the glimmer of hope in their eyes?
