For four years, now, I have worked on the Mava- hian, and I have seen it go through many changes. Last year’s edition, Transition,” was dedicated to those changes. However, I would like to dedicate this yearbook to the main reason for its existence — you and I, the students of Maple Valley. It is our team- work, talent, effort, scholastic ability, and school spirit that proves that we are number one! Also, as editor, I would like to thank our advisor, Ms. Shannon Drotar, who was a great help to all of the staff; my assistant editor, Laurie Perkins; Scott Bultman of Bultman Studios for his years of great service; Bob Weir of Taylor Publishing Company for his guidance; and all of the Mavahian staff.

Besides selling fruit, the seniors also sold candy and had good results with both. The Senior Play was a huge success. The Class of 1978 accomplished their goal of going on a Carribean Cruise for their Senior trip. The members of the Class of 1978 feel they have far exceeded the goals attained by previous classes. The Seniors have set many precedents and accom- plished many feats. As freshmen, they followed, but as seniors, they have learned to lead. The Seniors know the meaning of both failure and success, and from all of their experiences, they have matured. The Seniors are proud to say they are the Class of 1978. The officers and advisors for the Class of 1978 are pictured above: Vice-President Scott Ommen; Advisors Mr. Russ Koons, Mrs. Lucy Martin; Treasurer Kathy Gar vey; Secretary Denise Fassett; and President Cheryl Keech.
