FOREWORD As the class of 1969 separates and leaves the Valley forever, we suddenly realize that it isn’t so important that we be remembered as it is that we remember. This is the reason that we have tried in the Lasso to interpret our last year from a very personal standpoint. No one else could care about the time when Norman Holliday wore a crew cut or Carol Cassell and Connie Tibbs were “new from Ceres.” Nobody else could care about the group from the Cove who began as first graders in a one-room school. No one else cares, but it is the little things that the Seniors want least to forget. School is so many things. Rich Valley High School has grown to represent many different achievements and pitfalls for the Class of 1969. School is where we first learned that it is important to board the right bus in the afternoon. School is where we found that teachers and parents are not quite the same. In school we discovered negative numbers, the Spanish language, how to weld, and how to sew. School is your name in The Round-Up. School is the fabulous place that helped give meaning to the world around us. School is where we each found someone special to talk to. School is the place that led us to realize that winning isn’t everything but wanting to win is. School is the place where we danced and cheered and tried hard not to get caught chewing gum. School is where Steers are tops whether they happen to be winning or not. School is doing eight book reports, buying lunch tickets every Monday, and hearing your name called over the intercom when you forget to go to the attendance office. School is being an eighth grader feeling small, a freshman feeling better, a sophomore feeling good, a junior feeling excited, and at last being a senior feeling far superior and a little apprehensive. School is learning to open a stubborn locker, joining your first club, planning the prom, and walking out first from assemblies. School is Roger Frye saying, “This assembly will now come to order”; Mike Webb saying, “Y ' all come out and support us”; Donna McGhee saying, “Yea, maroon; yea, gold”; and Mr. Morgan saying, “Know any current events?” School is Mrs. Campbell saying, “What was the author’s purpose?” School is where we ' ve worked our hearts out for our clubs, publications, sports, and classes. School is where we grew to admire, respect, and even love so many people that we’re sure we’ll never forget, but who will soon be dusty memories. In the 1969 Lasso there is presented a reflection of school; its administration, curriculum, activities, features, athletics, and patrons. The Seniors have elected Charlie Brown, universally recognized philosopher, to deliver our idea through the theme, “School is.” 2
