The first change was the appointment of Mr. Charles Randolph as principal of Weatherwax. Another change, resulting from the Washington State Legislature, saw the high-school student attend fifty-seven minute classes, and eat during thirty minute lunches. Also, students were not dismissed early for vacations. Furthermore, the tradition of senior week before graduation ended. Although the days seemed longer, the unity still remained among and between the classes. Spirit came out in full force and also brought back the burning of Johnny Hoquiam after a five-year absence. The students of Weatherwax rallied together for a year of Great Expectations. 10 INTRODUCTION

Seventies End With Reassurance Growing up in the seventies seemed to show us a world in unending turmoil but perhaps new hope was with us as the decade began to bring itself to a dose. Although world events may not have been right next to us, they did seem to affect our lives. President Carter brought together two long time warring nations in hopes of peace, man furthered his knowledge of science with the successful development of the space shuttle, and a man named Ali possibly restored faith in that one can succeed in what he sets out to do if he tries wholeheartedly. Closer to home, many of us marveled in Seattle at the magnificent treasures of a boy king from long ago Egypt and in anticipation of future energy needs, a new nuclear site was being developed only miles away. Things may not have yet been ideal, but as the year drew to an end it could be said many had expectations of a better future.
