SENIOR MEMORIES

Dedication

Our Senior Yearbook was dedicated to Mrs. Ames

We, the senior class of 1963, dedicate his yearbook to Mr. Ames for his outstanding cnributions to the student body. Very few, if any of our classmates have every consulted Mr. Ames about a problem and come away dissatisfied with his counsel. We feel his dedication to the ideal of freedom of expression and personal achievement have helped to form a classs of which we are all extremely proud.


"The wealth of mankind is the wisdom they leave."

FRESHMEN MEMORIES

Forty-Eight Frosh Will 'Get The Works' At Initiation October 2, 1959

   Forty-eight bewildered freshmen entered Spring Valley High School on August 27, 1959. Some were uncertain as to what the future held for them; others were very confident.

   The freshmen will become official members of the high school on Friday, October 2, when the sophomores will have the privilege of initiating them. Under supervision of the faculty, the initiation will be better supervised and restricted this year. After the Spring Valley-Ellsworth football game, a dance will conclude the initiation.

   To give you some idea of what the freshmen think of high school here are some of their comments:

Joy Stefon: After the first day, I was scared stiff.

Ronnie Wolske: I like high school because you get to go to more dances. One thing I dislike is that you can't run in the halls.

Teddy Bergum: It's more fun than grade school because you get to run around more.

Pat Christopherson: In high school you get to know more people. One thing I dislike is the rush-rush-rush.

Chuck Madson: It's different! I dislike it because it's too much work.

Dawn Brooke: I like the friendly kids, but I dislike the three minutes between classes.
