Sharon (Budd) Alton GROWING UP IN SPRING VALLEY The kids on the hill would Òplay outÓ The bus ride to River Falls Park Also in the summer there was camping; Sledding and skating in the winter time, Walking friends home after school, There was Sunday School and P.F. and potlucks Ballgames, cheerleading, class outings; A wise teacher we had, with his proverbs Band, choir, plays, speech and barbershop Our small class of nineteen in eighth grade And how could we forget the dances? As I look at the pictures on the web-site For our parents and teachers we are thankful; |
Marlys (Hanson) Anderson I enjoyed staying after school to go to football and basketball games and then ride the activity bus home afterwards. Playing my clarinet in the pep band at these games was so much fun. I also remember the parades that our marching band would participate in. Sometimes it was so hot and we wore these band uniforms that felt like wool! Being a part of the choir is also a great memory. Sharon, Bev, Carol and myself sang in a quartet and I remember singing at BevÕs church for some function there. In the spring of my senior year I had both the measles and chicken pox within six weeks. When I finally got back to school I had to have my picture taken for the annual because I was the recipient of the DAR Award. Needless to say, that picture turned out terrible! |
Sandra (Mondor) Mrosek I submitted a few pictures of Darlene and Marlys on some of our great times together. |
Marjorie (Fuhrman) Hammond We had lots of good times, but when we put on our Junior Class Play sticks in my mind. |
James Jorgenson The fishing trip to Canada with Wally Hanson and the Junior Ag class. What a fun week! |

Darlene (Moldenhauer) Wilk
The most vivid memories I have while attending SVHS are going to dances at Ellsworth with Sandy and Marlys, roller skating at Elmwood, also dances at Arkansaw. Being raised on the farm and having to milk cows by hand, there was no kind of soap that would get rid of that smell on my hands before going to school. |
