Administration This Year, Everett High School, along with the rest of the nation has been involved in all kinds of activities in observance of our country's Bicentennial Celebration. Throughout the curriculum, an attempt has been made to emphasize our countryis great heritage and past his- tory. Through student projects and activities, physical changes have been made to improve our school which will leave a lasting tribute to this observance. This Bicentennial observance could not have come at a better time. The turmoil of the 60's and the past two years caused many to question the direction in which our country was movingg however, after reviewing our country's past 200 years, it becomes quite apparent that this country has experienced many trying times. The significant thing is, that this country has survived these times and after each incident has emerged a stronger country.
