Prologue The world and its people are in many ways vastly changed since the dawn of the decade ten years ago. Energy in the form of oil, nuclear power, solar power and all the other alternatives has probably created the greatest impact on peoples of the world. Economies of nations from the most backward countries to the super powers have been subject to a growing dependence on oil, especially from the mid-East. The decade dawned in the U.S. with feelings of national pride, largely because of the successful Apollo moon landings. The decade also saw the chaos of Watergate, the frustrating withdrawal in Viet Nam, Arab- Israeli conflict and a mushrooming inflationary spiral. Family patterns have changed, women's lib and ERA were ever present, employment fluctuated and we lived with threatening recession. Johnson students and faculties witnessed many changes in traditional educational patterns. Team teaching, learning centers, magnet programs, reading classes, on-the-job programs and a whole host of elective courses followed national trends. The Districts city--wide public enrollment went from 50,000 in 1970 to 32,000 in 1980. Johnson's population dropped from a crowded' 2300 in 1970 to 1500 in 1980.
