NOW TI-IEN IT IS IMPORTANT TO LOOK BACK AND REMEMBER THE PAST. . . Remember when gas was 300: a gallon? Of course that is when you went on Sunday rides to grandma's with mom and dad and stopped by the gas station to fill up the tank on the way. Remem- ber when you could buy a candy bar for 8ct and there really was PENNY CANDY! A lot of things have changed since we, as students, can remember. Styles for example. Most of us can recall the old bellbottom pants in those wild colors and the mini skirts with those cloddy shoes! The awful stripped pants the boys wore that came above their ankles YUKI That was only about 10 years ago can you imagine 20 years? Those were the days of crew cuts and cat eyed glasses now we have PERMS AND WIDE SUN SENSITIVE TINTED LENSES Who knows how much they paid for gas then all we know is we are stuck paying over S1 00 for it now' TWENTY YEARS AGO boy that seems like a long time but not really Mount Tahoma was built 20 years ago In 1961 the plans were finalized and the work started on what was to be the most modern of all high schools in Tacoma It was the first school to run completely on electricity Designed to look like a mini college campus it was to have a football stadium baseball soccer and track fields Portable classrooms were put up until classrooms could be finished and have remained there since Because it is the 20th anniversary of our school we the 1980 81 TOTEM staff have chosen the theme NOW AND Tl-IEN re flecting on the school s past and its people However some of the past sometimes carries into the present' We have nine staff members who have been here since the school first opened in 1961 they are Mr J McDonald Mr G Freiberg Mr O Nordr Mrs D Pearson Mrs E Thornburg Mr L Blanchfield Mr L Ubben Mrs A Wilkens and Mr R Ehrenherm For this reason the 1980 81 TOTEM staff proudly dedicates this book to those nine who have been at Mount Tahoma for its first 20 years d ch accept cong atulato fo G d go Mount Taho C Ca 1961 l r,ttitt 'wwlwy QTY - ft ,jf
