We ' ve Changed All That Not so long ago academics were taught in a very rigid, traditional manner; football was the only popular sport; and unrest led to riots at Washington High School. But we ' ve changed all that. Soaring enrollment in Latin, Chemistry, phase 5 English courses and elective History courses were evidence of increased academic interest. Classes were no longer traditional and boring. Innovative programming included reading and writing labs, synthesized music courses, a new photo lab, and a school store. Strong student backing and support was evident for football, basketball, wrestling, and baseball. State rankings in football and basketball, local titles in wrestling, and improvement in baseball merged with traditional sportsmanship to give the Panthers a reason to be proud. Constructive activity replaced disorder as the focal point of the student ' s life. Noteworthy projects such as an annual blood drive, and volunteer work for Century Center were a direct result of student involvement in activities, ranging from the Junior Waltons to golf. Initiated with the support of many concerned citizens, the blood drive resulted in one hundred and fifty pints of blood being donated by WHS students to the blood bank. National Honor Society members joined the volunteer force as Century Center celebrated its grand opening. Involvement was the key in changing attitudes concerning academics, sports, and activities. Washington students showed their interest in the school and the community by getting involved. They proved changes could occur, and they made them happen. top right: Troy McKinney and Howard Tell stop at one of the many vitally located drinking fountains to quench their thirst and talk a little. right: Linnie Lentych gives her impression of Elton John to anyone who will watch in the school cafeteria. far right: A vivid change in fashion is displayed by a 1960 yearbook picture and a 1978 yearbook shot.
