These young citizens have a great responsibility Whic h will challenge their ability to defend their beliefs. Development and environment play a big part in his roll as a citizen, Respect for the flag of our country, the stars and stripes, and the flag of our state is a good foundation upon which to build citizenship. At Alvo-Eagle both flags were on display throughout the year and all students began the day by saluting the flag and repeating the Allegiance. The "Young American" is he who believes in the principles of democracy and would defend his country with his life if necessary, Love of country and respect for it's leaders comes through learning about them and their actions. ln school, the students study the history of this great country and the hardships suffered by many people to make the United States what it is today. We invite you to turn the pages of this yearbook and meet our "Young Americans". ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY Board Discusses Issues In School System SCHOOL.

Meetings were held at both the Alvo and the Eagle gyms to explain to the people of the community the need of such a plan and it's advantages.

The Eagles, trail- ed by one point at the bottom of the fifth inning but battled their way to another victory with a final score of 5-3. ' The third match was with Lewiston. Lewiston dominated the game and beat the Eagles 8-O. Pitcher Jeanette Weyers throws them "right down the old alley" to batter Jeanine Muenchau. Determined to place in the tournament the girls returned to defeat Panama 5-4 and took third place, The girls and their coach, Mr. Verl Flack, finished the season with a "softball supper" at the home of Marlene Corr.

The seniors have Walked down the halls for the last time as students of Alvo-Eagleg the classes have moved up and onto broader horizons. Those who remain here at Alvo-Eagle will adda little more warmth each day to these memory filled halls. Those who leave and go on to their chosen professions will look back over their shoulders every once in awhile and remember those Wonderful days spent at Alvo-Eagle. - Our sincerest gratitude ' goes to Mr. Verl Flack, our yearbook adviser, for all the hours he spent helping us edit the EAGLE. It is to the "Young Americans" that we leave this message: As you stand there, and are hearing Friends and loved ones gladly cheering From the Way you've toiled and striven Came to them the pride you've given. Should you fail them some tomorrow, Just as deep would be their sorrow. Even in your cradle sleeping, You had this day in your keeping. Now from school as you're departing And the tasks of life are starting, Give them joy and fail them never. Keep their pride in your favor. I w I umugmpm 4 an-ia by WALSWORTH Mainline, MSL, U. S.
