Thomas, and Todd leTTermen s iackefs gold banded shoul Morrow speak Their minds aT a fall Senior As- ders sembly, keeping Their class informed, When The consTrucTion of whaT is now known as Evergreen High School was compleTed in 4956, a formal dedicaTion was held. The building iTself was, and sTilI is, as communiTy efforT. The campus was looked upon as an 'expression of The educa- Tional hopes, desires, and policies of The Highline School DisTricT for more and beTTer educaTion for iT's children'. Many Things have changed since ThaT dedicaTion in 4956. The physical aspecTs of ThaT change are only a small parT of iT. Senior sTudenTs will remember when The 400 building had noT one, buT Two halls, ThaT inTersecTed aT The cenTer of The build- ing. The huge evergreen Tree ThaT once sfood Tall and proud aT The middle of The campus is now iusf a memory. Evergreen sTudenTs have changed even more Than The campus has. ln The early years of EHS, a sTricT dress code was presenT, sTaTing ThaT girls haa' To wear dresses or skirTs, no panTs allowed! VVolverine's values have changed as well. ln 4986, we Think differenTly Than any oTher generaTion, wlTh open minds and creaTive ideas. STudenTs of Today accepT such once 'Taboo' subjecfs as inTerracial daTing and The idea of girls Taking auTo shop. The rules and regulafions ThaT make up EHS have become more complicaTed, buT also more relaxed in many ways. STu- denTs Take a much greaTer role in Their educaTional and exTra- curricular lives. They are given more choices To make, more chances To succeed or fail, and more chances To show The world whaT They're really made of. The 4956 Dedicafion of Evergreen High School reads as follows: l'LeT us look To The fuTure welfare and accomplish- menTs of These younger cifizens as we seek The meriTs of This cooperafive venTure . The 'meriTs' are evidenT. WhaT cosT a mere S42. 45 per square fooT To build has proved To be a place where Thousands of 'younger cifizens' learned noT only abouT reading, wrifing, and .ariThmeTic, buT abouT The world ouTside of Those classroom walls. ln some opinions, ThaT experience was priceless. by Shelby Murphy Sfudenf Life 97
