Mr. Diorka holds the coveted Spirit Jug for the fourth time. Dom and ' lI. Diorka show their true Italian background. Class Advisor Really Special Demanding. This is the one word that describes Mr. Diorka. He demands a great deal of him- self and demands a lot from the students he works with. He is one of the new teachers that is well known by all four grade levels at Great Valley. Some hate him, many love him; but all have a deep respect for the demanding teacher who is also the track coach, and the four year advisor for the Class of 1977. Mr. Diorka went all out as advisor for the Class of 77. Beginning in our freshman year he placed in us the desire to excel in all our endeavors. In our freshman year at Diorka ' s prodding, we sold more candy bars than any other class in previous years; and it contin- ued that way through our senior year. No matter how small the event Mr. Diorka pushed the class to get orders for more magazines or to sell more tickets. He made sure the event was always a success. The Class of 1977 never disappointed Mr. Diorka. We achieved all the goals he set before us. One of the greatest accomplishments was the winning of Spirit Week for four consecutive years. Though everyone said it couldn ' t be done, Mr. Diorka never voiced a doubt. Mr. Diorka deserves many thanks for all the invaluable help he has given our class. We really appreciate everything he has done for us. 16 Seniors

Officers Help Make Year A Success The senior class officers are (L. TO RT. ) O. J. Hoard, President, Dave Rowland, Treasurer, Joan Fosnocht, Secretary and Mary Beth McLean, Vice-President. Joan Fosnocht is always laughing about something. Mary Beth McLean takes time out from one of her activities to smile. O. J. Hoard does his homework with Ken Liskey. In the senior year there are more activities than any other year of high school and being a senior class officer is a time-consuming and difficult job. The officer ' s meetings be- gan as soon as school started. The first fund-raiser to put to- gether was the fashion show. It started the ball rolling for a successful year. The officers often met with their advisor, Mr. Diorka to plan an ingenious strategy that helped the class win Spirit Week. Other activ- ities that the senior class had were the talent show, smorgas- bord, and the donkey basketball game. The seniors sponsored the District Wrestling Tourna- ment also. The parents of the officers co-ordinated the grad- uation party. Though the work was hard, all the officers en- joyed their job and did superb work making the activities a success. Seniors 17
