Mrs. Holmquist stepped down saying, according to the Joliet Herald News, There is a need for a strong hand at the helm - a hand stronger than mine. She did not resign her seat on the board. Only days before Mrs. Holmquist's resignation, the Joliet Township High Schools were declared clean of drugs. Superintendent Dr. Marvin Edwards, in cooperation with the Joliet Police Department and the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad, placed an undercover Narcotics officer at West for three weeks and had canineunits from Joliet, DeKalb, and Elmhurst sniff lockers and gym areas at East and Central. With the exception of a marijuana cigarette found at Central, all three campuses were totally free of drugs. While some news was good, some was also bad. The Catholic members of the community felt two great losses this year when both Bishop Romeo Blanchette and Cardinal Cody died. Ailing from Lou Gehrig disease, Bishop Blanchette resigned as Bishop of the Joliet Diocese in January 1979 and died on January 10 at age 69. Cardinal J. P. Cody, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Chicago, died on April 25 of a heart attack at age 74. Steve Dahl, Garry Meier, and all of the WLS listening audience also felt a great loss with the death of Marcus Palmer, side-kick to Dahl -and Meier. Palmer died of a freak accident after a routine tonsillectomy. Here at school, loss was also felt with the death of Ms. Marcie Long, art teacher. Ms. Long, teacher at West for 18 years, died in April, With the retirement of Counselor Naomi Hedstrom, a different sense of loss was felt. Mrs. Hedstrom, who had been in education for 35 years and in the Joliet system for 30 years, will be greatly missed. . Coach John Harr and Coach Roger Swank, both resigning from coaching their respective sports will also be missed. Swank, a competitive runner himself, resigned as girls' track coach. Harr, feeling a youngercoach could better relate to the players, resigned as varsity basketball coach. Both remained at West as teachers. Within the Joliet community change was also occurring. On November 27, the Rialto Theatre reopened with Victor Borge headlining the first in a iseries of artists and programs, including the annual Kiwanis Show, Beatlemania, and A Chorus Line.
