THE SOUNDS OF FOOTSTEPS Walking, running, strutting, jogging, stroll¬ ing, parading, moseying. Each person has their own individual style, but everyone had to get together to take that first step to begin their journey through the 1983-84 school year. On that first day of registration a big crowd turned out. reluctant to see the summer end yet excited to be back for another year at Washington. From the Seniors, stepping easi¬ ly into their final year, to the Freshmen, jumping eagerly into the first year, everyone knew that tne year would be great. Everyone sensed the anticipation in the air, the univer¬ sal feeling that the year ahead would bring something for everyone. The emotion carried over to the first day of school, when the halls were filled with the sounds of footsteps hurry¬ ing to class and voices calling greetings to friends who had followed different paths over the summer. But these paths had finally merged back together once again as another new school year began. Along with the famil¬ iar faces and routines, there were a few changes waiting for us as we stepped into the new year. We welcomed several new teach¬ ers to Washington’s staff: Mrs. Adams, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Kato. We congratulated Indus¬ trial Arts teacher Mr. McAlister on his recent wedding. And we were forced to grow accus¬ tomed to a brand new schedule, saying good¬ bye to brunch and A-period but welcoming a later starting hour. But no amount of change could dampen our spirits. The year started off with a bang; the journey had begun. The fast-moving pace of -the journey never slowed down as tne year progressed. There was never a dull moment on Washington’s campus; all kinds of activities kept us busy, and new and exciting events kept our inter¬ est. Football season brought out new and unique hairstyles on our football players, ranging from traditional mohawks and crew- cuts to shaved out numbers and baldness. Of course it all grew back, but it provided a new r and interesting look for the fall. The Senior class was enjoying itself immensely, as all Seniors should, but trouble still arose. A new District ruling outlawed Grad Night at Dis¬ neyland, but the class of ’84 sprang back from the bad news and found another solution. Nothing could spoil the Senior year they had so long awaited. At the other end of things, the Freshmen also bounced through the year. An astounding number turned out for class elections, and the officers showed great lead¬ ership qualities. WHS also saw its first Fresh¬ man cheerleaders in years. The class of ’87 promised great things ' for Washington in the years to come. 1. Stepping out with glossy pumps. 2.
